Collins sharp as Titans beat Bills in HOF game
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 11 - 08 - 2009

With a little trickery and a solid performance by the Kerry Collins-led starting offense, the Tennessee Titans opened the NFL preseason with a 21-18 win over the Buffalo Bills in the Hall of Fame (HOF) game Sunday.
If this was the NFL's throwback weekend to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the founding of the American Football League, then this also resembled the Titans' quarterback situation at the beginning of last year. That's when Young got off to a terrible start and lost his starting job to Collins by Week 2.
Collins, already selected the starter, quickly began delivering on the faith the Titans put in him after being signed to a two-year $15 million contract this offseason.
He went 7-of-10 for 82 yards in producing two touchdown drives, one capped by reserve punter A.J. Trapasso's 40-yard run on a perfectly executed fake punt on the opening possession. Collins was especially efficient in going 3 for 4 for 49 yards on third down.
“I thought we got off to a good start,” Collins said. “We executed our offense and played fast out there.”
The same couldn't be said for Young, who took over at the start of the second quarter. In his first three series, Young was 1-of-5 for 13 yards and an interception, nearly dropped a shotgun snap and looked hesitant running the ball when he was easily caught from behind by rookie linebacker Nic Harris.
Young finally warmed up, and showed great touch in hitting Paul Williams for a 5-yard touchdown pass to convert third-and-2 to put the Titans up 21-3 late in the second quarter. The No. 3 selection in the 2006 draft still has a long way to go to regain his once-dominating form. In five series, Young went 5-of-10 for 39 yards, and a 1-yard run.
The Bills were sluggish and looked nothing like the better-prepared team, considering Buffalo opened training camp two weeks ago – a week ahead of the Titans.
The only offensive highlights were provided by Terrell Owens, who signed a one-year $6.5 million contract with Buffalo in early March, days after being released by Dallas.
