BY GEORGE DICKIE

Titans’ Henry bulldozes opposing secondaries In the mold of a John Riggins, Jim Brown or Marion Motley, Derrick Henry is the type of big back that defensive backs hate to see coming.

Indeed, in their fifth-year running back, the Tennessee Titans have the type of runner whose speed (4.54 seconds in the 40), size (6 feet 3 inches, 247 pounds) and ability to cut on a dime make tackling him in the open field an almost impossible task. Not to mention one that could cause bodily harm.

And let’s not forget about his signature stiff-arm, an old-school tactic that would-be tacklers have come to fear.

That was demonstrated in the Titans’ Week 5 victory over the Buffalo Bills, when Henry’s stiff-arm of Josh Norman sent the cornerback backwards through the air and onto his backside as Henry plowed ahead for a five-yard gain. It also got the attention of commentators, fans and just about every cornerback and safety in the league.

The move has even drawn the admiration of LaDainian Tomlinson, one of the game’s greatest runners, who is now an analyst for NFL Network.

“They don’t want to see him when they’re running downhill and he’s coming at an angle, when he can throw his stiff-arm,” the Pro Football Hall of Famer said. “They’re at his mercy.”

Through 12 games, Henry was leading the league with 1,317 yards and was on pace for his secondstraight rushing title. He’s also a big reason why the Titans are vying for first place in the AFC South with a postseason berth assured.

Henry and the Titans can be seen in action Sunday, Dec. 27, when they pay a visit to Lambeau Field to take on the Green Bay Packers in a game airing on NBC. FULL NAME: Derrick Lamar Henry Jr.

BY JAY BOBBIN

Brian Austin Green is a panelist as “The Masked Dancer” premieres Sunday on Fox.

‘The Masked Singer’ spawns ‘The Masked Dancer’ as new Fox contest debuts in focus

If there can be a “Masked Singer,” why not a “Masked Dancer”?

Well, there can be, and Fox is giving the latest entry in the franchise a special advance debut Sunday, Dec. 27. (The show then settles into its regular time period by assuming “Singer’s” usual Wednesday slot Jan. 6.) The premise is similar, as celebrities in elaborate costumes display their dancing aptitude while viewers try to guess along with the series’ panel who’s inside the outfits.

Based on a segment featured on Ellen DeGeneres’ weekday talk show (she’s an executive producer here), “The Masked Dancer” offers actor-comedian Craig Robinson (“The Office”) as host. Current Fox staple Ken Jeong is a panelist, as are singer-choreographer and “American Idol” veteran Paula Abdul, “Beverly Hills, 90210” alum Brian Austin Green and singer-actress Ashley Tisdale.

“It is something new for me, but it’s really fun,” the friendly Green maintains.

“There’s nothing really negative; that’s just not part of the process. The voting is for the person you want to see the most, not the person you enjoyed the least.

It’s all in good fun, and everybody who works on this show seems to have a good time, so it’s a cool experience. It’s nice to be a part of something as positive as this show is.”

Green did a “Masked Singer” guest stint this past season as that show’s “Giraffe,” and he confirms that made him prone to sign up for “The Masked Dancer” when the opportunity arose. “I was in rehearsal for weeks, I had to have wardrobe fittings, it was a whole process – and when I was doing the performance stuff, I realized, ‘Oh. The panelists just come in for this. That’s the job to have!’ ” At the same time, his giraffe stint has given Green an appreciation for what “Masked” guests do: “It was really hard to sing and move, because you have a very limited view inside the costume. The costumes are so tailored for a show like this, the masks are smaller and you have a much better field of vision. And the costumes are much easier to move in. It’s just so impressive that these people can do what they’re doing. They’re not just little moves, they’re fully choreographed numbers.”

Being back on Fox, where he spent a decade as “90210’s” David Silver (and then on “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles” and last year’s “BH90210” variation), also holds appeal for Green.

“I’ve had nothing but great experiences with everybody there,” he reflects. “Even when there are new people, it feels like new members of a family that I’m already part of. And they know I’m a part of it, so it’s a very good environment.”

PUZZLE SOLUTIONS

“The Ultimate Playlist of Noise” (Hulu — movie premiere, Jan. 15, 2021) Learning he must undergo brain surgery that will render him deaf, an audio-obsessed highschool senior (Keean Johnson, “Nashville”) sets off on a mission to record a playlist of all his favorite sounds. His adventures bring him into the life of a struggling musician (Madeline Brewer, “The Handmaid’s Tale”), with whom he sets off on a cross-country trek. Rya Kihlstedt and Ian Gomez also star in this movie from first-time filmmaker Bennett Lasseter.

Mayim Bialik, who stars in the new Fox sitcom “Call Me Kat,” joins “The Masked Dancer” host Craig Robinson and Curt Menefee from the Fox Sports team to anchor this half-hour preview special, which provides a sneak peak at the new and returning shows to the network’s lineup. Fan favorites ready to start a new season include “The Resident”; “911” and its spinoff, “911: Lone Star”; “Prodigal Son”; “Hell’s Kitchen”; and the Sunday night animated lineup including “The Simpsons,” “Bob’s Burgers” and “Family Guy.”

A clash of division leaders is in the offing tonight at Lambeau Field, where Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers hope to lock up the NFC North with a victory over Ryan Tannehill and the AFC South-leading Tennessee Titans. The 37-year-old Rodgers has found the fountain of youth this season and he recently added another laurel in his storied career, throwing his 400th touchdown pass, thus becoming the fastest quarterback in NFL history to do so.

8 p.m. on ID Atlanta Justice

Valerie Bertinelli and Duff Goldman return as hosts and judges as they welcome 12 young bakers and test their kitchen skills in a series of challenges, with the best young baker to emerge at the end of the 10-week competition taking home $25,000 and a spot in Food Network Magazine. For the first time this season, parents of the participants will be present to watch as their children vie in in the fun yet high-pressure rounds of competition.

As all paths converge on Cittàgazze, the mission to find Will’s (Amir Wilson) father (Andrew Scott) becomes more pressing in the Season 2 finale. Having narrowly survived the balloon crash, Jopari and Lee (Scott, Lin-Manuel Miranda) try to locate the knife bearer, but the agents of the Magisterium are in close pursuit. Elsewhere, Ruta (Jade Anouka) updates Serafina (Ruta Gedmintas) on Asriel’s plans, but Serafina insists her duty is to Lyra (Dafne Keen).

This new weekly true-crime series chronicles the formidable teamwork demonstrated by members of the elite Atlanta Homicide Unit, which has one of the highest clearance rates in the country. Among the standouts are Detectives Nicole Redlinger and JD Stephens, and prosecutors Leif Howard and Tanya Miller. In the series premiere, the team investigates the death of Bobby Jackson, whose corpse, fully wrapped in silver tape, is discovered dumped in a church playground. Two different women claim to be Bobby’s fiancée, and each accuses the other of being the killer.
