Bironas boots record eight FGs as Titans hold off furious Texans rally

Football Betting Lines

10/21/2007 - Houston, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Rod Bironas' NFL record eighth field goal of the game -- a 29-yarder as time expired -- gave the Tennessee Titans a wild 38-36 win over the Houston Texans at Reliant Stadium.

Trailing 32-7 heading into the fourth quarter, the Texans offense, dormant for the entire game, exploded for a team-record 29 points in the fourth quarter and took a 36-35 lead on backup quarterback Sage Rosenfels' 53-yard touchdown to Andre Davis with 57 seconds remaining in the game.

However, Kerry Collins, playing in place of Vince Young, quickly went to work for the Titans, throwing to Roydell Williams for a 17-yard completion to the Tennessee 37-yard line.

Two incompletions later, Collins again hooked up with Williams, this time for a long 46-yard reception to the Houston 17-yard line. After a six-yard LenDale White run, Tennessee called a timeout and Bironas was good on his record-setting field goal.

Bironas hit on field goals of 52, 25, 21, 30, and 28 yards and two from 29 yards out to break the previous record shared by Jim Bakken, Rich Karlis, Billy Cundiff and Chris Boniol.

Collins completed 25-of-42 passes for 280 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions and White rushed for 104 yards and a score for the Titans (4-2).

Rookie tailback Chris Henry added 57 yards and his first career score for Tennessee, while Williams ended with five catches for 124 yards.

Houston quarterback Matt Schaub hurt his left ankle in the first quarter, returned after a brief absence and then left the game for a good after a vicious hit from Titans defensive end Albert Haynesworth in the second quarter.

Rosenfels threw for 290 yards and four touchdowns for the Texans (3-4), but finished with four turnovers - three interceptions and a fumble.
