HOUSTON, Nov. 24 (UPI) -- Rob Bironas kicked a 53-yard field goal with 47 seconds remaining Monday and the Tennessee Titans won their fourth straight game, topping Houston 20-17.

The Texans' Kris Brown missed a 49-yard field goal that would have tied the game with 1 second to play. Two weeks ago, Brown missed a potential game-tying kick on the final play in a 20-17 loss to Indianapolis.

Tennessee's Vince Young completed 12-of-22 passes for 116 yards, including a 13-yard touchdown pass to Kenny Britt.

Bironas also kicked a 50-yard field goal in the third quarter and LenDale White ran 1 yard for a touchdown for the Titans (4-6), who have come back strong after opening the season with six straight defeats.

Matt Schaub was 25-of-39 passing for the Texans (5-5).

Schaub threw touchdown passes of 3 yards to Steve Slaton and 12 yards to Andre Johnson.
