Young and restless OT thriller

Vince Young and the Titans did it again – spectacularly.

Young ran for a 39-yard touchdown in overtime Sunday to give Tennessee a 26-20 win over the Houston Texans for their a straight comeback victory.

Young ran into the end zone virtually untouched and then jumped into the stands to the open arms of a throng of burnt orange-clad fans. He then blew kisses and waved to the crowd.

Young was 19 of 29 for 218 yards passing and he ran for another 86 yards.

Bengals 27, Raiders 10: At Cincinnati, Carson Palmer threw for a pair of touchdowns and Rudi Johnson ran for two more, setting up a victory over Oakland that strengthened Cincinnati’s playoff chances.

T.J. Houshmandzadeh had eight catches for 118 yards against the NFL’s top-ranked pass defense. Chad Johnson had five catches for 101 yards.

Ravens 20, Chiefs 10: At Kansas City, Mo., Ed Reed had two interceptions and Steve McNair hooked up with Mark Clayton for an 87-yard score, leading Baltimore to a victory over Kansas City.

Larry Johnson ran for 120 yards for the Chiefs.

Westbrook ended the day 5 yards shy of his first 1,000-yard rushing season.

Jaguars 44, Colts 17: At Jacksonville, Fla., rookie Maurice Drew ran for a career-high 166 yards and two touchdowns, had a 93-yard kickoff return for a score, and Jacksonville literally ran Indianapolis out of town with a surprising victory.

Fred Taylor was equally effective against the league’s worst run defense, gaining 131 yards on nine carries before leaving the game with a sore right hamstring.

Falcons 17, Buccaneers 6: At Tampa, Fla., the NFL’s top rushing team lost Warrick Dunn and Jerious Norwood within a span of five plays of the third quarter, but seldom-used Justin Griffith came in to finish a 71-yard drive with a 21-yard touchdown burst that helped Atlanta beat Tampa Bay.

Griffith finished with a team-high 57 yards rushing on 12 carries.

Dolphins 21, Patriots 0: At Miami, Miami sacked Tom Brady four times, forced him to fumble twice, held him to 78 yards passing and blanked New England.

McGahee, who playfully told Jets linebacker Jonathan Vilma during the week that he couldn’t be stopped, had 125 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries.

Packers 30, 49ers 19: At San Francisco, Brett Favre passed for 293 yards and hit Donald Driver for a 68-yard touchdown as Green Bay snapped a three-game losing streak with a victory over San Francisco.

Favre went 22 for 34 and surpassed 3,000 yards passing for the 15th straight season to extend his own NFL record.

Frank Gore rushed for 130 yards and a touchdown for the 49ers.

Chargers 48, Broncos 20: At San Diego, LaDainian Tomlinson scored three touchdowns, including the final two in a span of 47 seconds late in the game, to break the NFL single-season record with 29 TDs. He led the Chargers to a win over Denver.
