QB Kerry Collins, who helped the Titans to a 13-3 mark this season, has been benched in favor of Vince Young, the former first-round pick who had the support of 86-year-old owner Bud Adams. Collins had completed 108 of 197 passes for 1,071 yards with five touchdowns and eight interceptions this season, but after a 59-0 embarrassment two weeks ago in the snow at New England, the situation was ripe for change of any sort. Collins admitted as much. "I certainly know I could have played better," Collins said. "But just like last year, I didn't take all the credit when we were winning, and I don't think it's all my fault this year either. But having said that, I could have played better. We're 0-6, and heads are gonna roll, and more times than not, it's the quarterback." 10/29/2009

Collins completed just 2 of 12 passes for a career-worst minus-7 yards in the Titans' record-tying 59-0 loss at New England on Sunday. The 59-point margin matched the largest since the NFL-AFL merger in 1970, the Los Angeles Rams' 59-0 win over the Atlanta Falcons in 1976
