Last Sunday Vince Young led the Tennessee Titans to a last minute victory over Matt Lienart and the Arizona Cardinals. Leinart who started in place of the injured Kurt Warner made it a much anticipated rematch since the two quarterbacks played against one another in the 2006 Rose Bowl. With just minutes remaining and the home team down by 4, Vince Young and the boys stormed down field 99 yards in what would be the last drive of the game. The game couldn't have gotten any more nail biting than it was, as Young connected with rookie wide-receiver Kenny Britt for a 10-yard touchdown pass with time expiring. The game winning drive gave the Titans their fifth straight victory since promoting Vince Young as the starting quarterback and beginning the season 0-6.
Young's stunning final drive consisted of 16 passes, including 10 receptions for 94 passing yards and 5 rushing yards. He also converted three fourth-downs on the drive and finished the game with a career-high 387 passing yards. Thanks to Vince Young's late game heroics, things are now starting to stir up in the NFC West, as the 49ers begin to show life in the division by taking advantage of a Arizona loss and beating the Jacksonville Jaguars 20-3.
Noteworthy: The recipient of the game winning touchdown pass, rookie WR Kenny Britt finished with 7 receptions and a career-high 128 receiving yards. Tennessee RB Chris Johnson ran for a total of 154 rushing yards to go along with a touchdown. With another solid game for the speedy Johnson, he joins Earl Campbell and Eric Dickerson as the only players in NFL history with six straight 125-yard rushing games.
