No, not necessarily. 
Henry had a very productive game vs the Jags this season and his team still lost. 
Jags merely have to replicate that and keep Dobbs from getting hot through the air, which would appear do-able as well. 

But we did stop Henry in our last game.  I don't really care how many yards he wound up with.  When the game was on the line we stopped him and then we made them stop using him from the 2nd Quarter on.

In my book, we stopped Henry in that last game.  I grant that in the 1st Quarter, Henry was eating us alive.  But once Quarterman and the gang knocked the ball out of his hands and into Josh Allens awaiting arms, we didn't hear from Henry again.  We nuetralized him for the rest of the game.  If we can do that again, we win.

If, come Saturday, Henry is feasting on us and is pulling off 10-15 yard rushes in the 3rd and 4th quarter, then it's gonna be a long night.

We have different definitions of the word stop. 

If stopping Derrick Henry is allowing him an APY number that would break single season records at his position if it were his "average" game - then I'd hate to see what a good game looks like from him. 

What would a good game be? 400 all purpose yards and 6 touchdowns? 

We'll just disagree here. No big deal. I have no issues with the way you interpret the Jags defensive effort in that game. I just see it differently. 

I don't think we stopped him at all except for their first drive of the second half. He was very efficient outside of that drive and after that drive they were down three scores quickly. They couldn't feed him any more.
