Titans Remain Unbeaten

Published: September 22, 2008

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The Tennessee Titans remained perfect in their best start since their lone Super Bowl appearance. The Houston Texans? Well, at least they got back on a football field.
LenDale White ran for two touchdowns, Kerry Collins threw for another and Tennessee improved to 3-0 for only the third time in franchise history.

The Texans (0-2) wanted to provide an emotional boost to their hometown where most people remain without power more than a week after Hurricane Ike hit. The hurricane forced the postponement of the Texans' home opener.

Collins threw for 189 yards, making him the 15th NFL quarterback with at least 35,000 yards passing in his career.
