NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Vince Young hit a leaping Kenny Britt for a 10-yard touchdown as time expired, and the Tennessee Titans rallied to beat the Arizona Cardinals 20-17 on Sunday for their fifth consecutive victory.
Young won his ninth straight start and improved to 23-11 in his career by driving the Titans 99 yards in the final 2:37. He converted three fourth downs on the drive, two to Britt.
Young threw for a career-high 387 yards in beating Matt Leinart in their first meeting as professionals and first overall since the BCS national championship in January 2006, when Young led Texas past Southern California.
The Titans (5-6) have not lost since Young replaced Kerry Collins as the starter. They are the first team to win five in a row after starting 0-6.
Arizona (7-4) snapped a three-game winning streak and picked up its first road loss.
Leinart, who went 21-of-31 for 220 yards, made his first start since Oct. 7, 2007, as the Cardinals sat Kurt Warner with a sore neck, looking ahead to an NFC matchup with Minnesota next week.
The Titans outgained Arizona 532-292, a season high for Tennessee.
