A year after Vince Young electrified Reliant Stadium, Rob Bironas came through
with another magical ending for the Titans.
Rob Bironas kicked an NFL-record eight field goals, including the game-winner
as time expired, to lead the Titans to a 38-36 win over the Houston Texans on
Sunday. Backup Kerry Collins led the offense while Young missed playing in his
hometown because of a strained quadriceps. Collins didn't make many mistakes,
but the offense couldn't capitalize in the red zone, ushering Bironas into the
record book. The record-setting kick foiled a spirited comeback by the Texans
(3-4), who scored 29 points in the fourth quarter, capped by a 53-yard touchdown
pass from Sage Rosenfels to Andre' Davis to take a 36-35 lead with 57 seconds
to play. The Titans (4-2) faced a third-and-10 at their 37 when Collins found
Roydell Williams on a 46-yard pass that set up the winning kick.
