King for a Day
Once I thought Tennessee was crazy to start Vince Young in the first half of his first season. I mean, of the top three quarterbacks in this year's draft he was the most unready to make the jump to the pros. Maybe he needed a season. Maybe he needed more. Instead, the Titans threw him in there after three miserable starts by Kerry Collins, and look what's happened: Not only has Young won four of his last six starts; he's beginning to look like the quarterback who frazzled USC in last year's national title game. He throws for two touchdowns; he runs for a third. He completes a career-high 24 passes, breaking his previous high of 15, and leads the Titans to 24 fourth-period points. I don't know how Mathias Kiwanuka let him go, either, on that fourth-and-10; all I know is that Young is beginning to look like the quarterback the Titans envisioned when they made him the third choice of the draft.

Offensive Players of the Week
Vince Young, QB, Tennessee. In a coming-of-age performance helped by some of the stupidest football this side of the Pecos by the Giants, Young led four fourth-quarter scoring drives to spur the Titans to a 24-21 win over New York. He succeeded because he used his legs, running 10 times for 69 yards. He also completed 24 of 35 throws for 249 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. I never thought I would say this, but in his rookie year, for one game, Vince Young had a quarterback rating over 100.

Recognition from National media. How 'bout that!
