NASHVILLE, Tenn.(AP) -- Kenny Britt caught the pass and jumped to
his feet - only to be stripped of the ball with time ticking
away.

No worries. On the next drive, Vince Young gave the rookie a
chance for redemption, and he came through by leaping up to grab
Young's 10-yard pass at the back of the end zone as time expired
to cap the Tennessee Titans' stunning rally to a 20-17 victory
over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.

"Emotions - there's really no words for it," Britt said.
"Everybody is just so happy. You see people with the expressions
that you didn't see around here for a long time. It just feels
so special to be in the locker room with those fellas."

The catch capped an 18-play, 99-yard drive that used up the
final 2 minutes, 37 seconds on the clock and kept the Titans on
their historic rebound from an 0-6 start with their fifth
straight win.

They did it with Young beating Matt Leinart in the first
professional game between the first two quarterbacks taken in
the 2006 draft. And it felt eerily reminiscent of the BCS
national championship in January 2006 when Young beat Leinart
with another late drive.

Young threw for a career-high 387 yards. He converted three
fourth downs on the drive, two to Britt - including the TD
catch.

"It was hard, but it really took a lot of patience and
confidence," Young said.

Young has won nine straight starts, including the past five
since he replaced Kerry Collins, and now is 23-11 as a starter.
But this easily was his most impressive game since 2006 when he
was the NFL's Offensive Rookie of the Year.

"He kept his poise, and he was confident," Titans coach Jeff
Fisher said. "He just had that thing about him."

Leinart was making his first start since Oct. 7, 2007, because
Kurt Warner had problems with his eyes. The Cardinals (7-4) sat
Warner in case the problem is concussion-related, and Leinart
threw for 220 yards. He drove the Cardinals to Tim Hightower's
6-yard TD run for a 17-13 lead in the fourth quarter.

Britt's touchdown catch helped make up for his turnover with
4:38 left. Young had just hit the rookie for a 51-yard
completion to the Arizona 30 when Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie
poked the ball free and Bryant McFadden recovered.

The Titans forced a punt, but LaRod Stephens-Howling, who also
returned a kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown, downed the ball at
the 1.

A couple plays into that game-winning drive, Cardinals receiver
Steve Breaston came over to Leinart and told his quarterback he
had a case of deja vu. Breaston had seen Young lead a late-game
drive against his Michigan team in a similar fashion.

"And he did that to myself in the national title game," Leinart
said. "I thought Vince played great. He made plays in that last
series, so hat's off to him. I thought our defense played
phenomenally. He just made some plays."

This loss snapped Arizona's three-game winning streak and left
the Cardinals stunned as Young high-fived fans on the sideline,
with the other Titans and their fans jumping for joy. Arizona
coach Ken Whisenhunt compared the disappointment to losing the
Super Bowl in February.

"It's as close to that as possible because we knew today that it
would be difficult against this team, and our team rallied and
pulled together. When you're six seconds away from winning it,
it makes it even tougher," Whisenhunt said.

Young did it time and again on that final drive. He moved around
on fourth-and-4 from the Titans 7 before finding Britt for a
10-yard completion. He scrambled for 6 yards later in the drive
and bought more time as he ran toward the line of scrimmage
before finding Britt in the end zone.

"There's not a lot you can do when he extends the play like
that," Whisenhunt said.

The Titans outgained Arizona 532-292 on offense, a season-high
for Tennessee. Darnell Dockett had three of Arizona's four sacks
of Young, but the Cardinals only took him down once on the final
drive.

Nearly lost in the amazing finish was Chris Johnson's
record-setting performance. The Titans running back matched the
NFL mark held by Earl Campbell (1980) and Eric Dickerson (1984)
by running for at least 125 yards in his sixth straight game.

Johnson topped 125 yards Sunday with an 85-yard touchdown gallop
late in the third quarter, and he also turned in the most yards
rushing in November, a mark previously held by Barry Sanders
(1997). Johnson finished with 18 carries for 154 yards, though
he didn't touch the ball on the final drive. He didn't mind.

"Finally, the ball's bouncing our way," Johnson said.

Notes: Britt had 128 yards receiving, giving the franchise a
300-yard passer, 100-yard rusher and 100-yard receiver in the
same game for the first time since Warren Moon, Lorenzo White
and Haywood Jeffires did it for the Houston Oilers on Sept. 6,
1992. ... Johnson has had three TDs of 80 yards or longer this
season, the first time that's happened since Barry Sanders had
three in 1997. ... Arizona receiver Larry Fitzgerald became the
second-fastest receiver to 500 career receptions with his first
catch of the second half - his 87th career game. The fastest?
Teammate Anquan Boldin did it in 80 games.
