HOUSTON — Vince Young remained undefeated as a starter for the Tennessee Titans this season thanks to Rob Bironas and his knack for making big kicks against the Houston Texans.

Bironas kicked a 53-yard field goal with less than a minute left and the Titans beat the Texans, 20-17, last night for their fourth straight victory after starting the season with six losses.

It was against the Texans two years ago that Bironas set an NFL record with eight field goals, including the game-winner as time expired in a 38-36 win. He also made a 50-yarder yesterday.

"I always feel good down here ... I like Houston," Bironas said. "I don't think Houston likes me too much."

The Texans (5-5) had a chance to tie it, but Kris Brown's 49-yard attempt with 1 second left was wide left.

"The frustrating part for me is, we have 44 guys out there, busting their tails, and one guy out there not doing his job, which is me," Brown said.

Young finished 12 of 22 for 116 yards. He is 4-0 this season after taking over for Kerry Collins.
