description

After opening 2006’s calendar with a game-winning touchdown run that resulted in both a Rose Bowl title and an undefeated season, Vince Young perhaps reasoned that, even on the NFL’s elevated stage, it only made sense to close the year in similarity. Forgoing the commentator’s wise-but-cautious advice about merely inching closer to field goal range on 3rd & 14, Tennessee’s No. 3 pick went for the win, escaping Houston’s seven-man pass rush before turboing his way into a walk-off 39-yard house call. Building his Rookie of the Year-winning case one big-time play at a time, Young coordinated a 26-20 overtime win over the Texans, overwhelming his AFC South foes with 218 yards (on 19-of-29 passing), and a seven-carry, 86-yard, one-touchdown complement.
