Young leads Titans over Favre, Packers
Aug 31, 2007 - 4:11 AM By Chip Cirillo PA SportsTicker Contributing WriterNASHVILLE, Tennessee (Ticker) - Quarterback Vince Young played until midway in the third quarter, leading the Tennessee Titans to a 30-14 victory over the Green Bay Packers on Thursday night in the preseason finale for both teams.
Young completed 11-of-16 passes for 96 yards and one touchdown, and rushed for 12 yards and one touchdown on two carries in leading the Titans to 17-14 lead.
But Young, last year's NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, made one costly mistake when he fumbled and Justin Harrell returned it 18 yards for a touchdown early in the third quarter.
"I thought we played pretty good other than the turnover," Young said.
Green Bay quarterback Brett Favre only played for the Packers' first two series and looked sharp, completing 8-of-10 passes for 82 yards and one touchdown. He finished with a 134.2 rating.
Favre's 6-yard touchdown pass to Noah Herron capped an eight-play, 69-yard scoring drive on the Packers' second possession.
"That was all Noah," Favre said.
LenDale White, battling for the starting job at running back for Tennessee. The second-year pro from Southern Cal boosted his chances, rushing for 58 yards on 15 carries.
Tennessee rookie Chris Davis enjoyed a good night on special teams, including a 70-yard punt return for a touchdown that gave the Titans a 27-14 lead with 53 seconds left in the third quarter.
Tennessee's Rob Bironas was 3-for-3 on field goals, including kicks of 51, 33 and 46 yards.
