In his last start at Reliant Stadium, Vince Young left the field blowing kisses to cheering fans after running for the winning score in overtime. It was a triumphant return to the city where he grew up against the team that passed on drafting him.
HOUSTON -- Since that win as a Tennessee Titans rookie in 2006, Young has gone through his share of ups and downs. On Monday night he'll return to Houston with the Titans and a three-game winning streak to face a Texans team trying to stay in the playoff hunt.
Young says he knew the reaction to his winning touchdown in the 26-20 victory was big, but he didn't remember much else about the fans' response.
But he says that game ranks second in his career highlights to the 2006 Rose Bowl, when he scored the winning touchdown to give Texas the national championship.
The Texans have far less fond recollections of that game.
