San Francisco, CA (Sportsbooks) - Chris Johnson ran for 135 yards and scored twice, as Tennessee got back to its winning ways in a 34-27 triumph over San Francisco.
Johnson, the league's leading rusher coming into Week 8, pushed his total to 959 yards on the year coming off a franchise-record 228-yard, two-score performance against the Jaguars last week.
Vince Young, making his second start of the season after replacing Kerry Collins in Week 7, led the Titans (2-6) to their second win in as many weeks after a dismal 0-6 start. The former Texas standout ran for a touchdown and threw for 172 yards on 12-of-19 passing.
Justin Gage caught four passes for 97 yards, while the defense again showed some bite, logging four sacks, three interceptions and two forced fumbles.
Cortland Finnegan's 39-yard interception return for a touchdown with just under three minutes to play ultimately served as the game-winning score after a 49ers hurry-up offense found the end zone inside the final minute.
San Francisco also made a switch under center last week, opting to start former No. 1 draft pick Alex Smith, who took over for Shaun Hill on a full- time basis in last week's close loss to the undefeated Colts.
Smith was solid in the early going, but two of his three picks came over the final 6 1/2 minutes to derail any hope of a comeback. He finished 29-of-45 for 286 yards and two touchdowns to Jason Hill. Smith also fumbled twice, losing one.
Frank Gore scored on the ground with 83 yards on 15 rushes and caught seven passes for 75 yards. Vernon Davis nabbed 10 balls for 102 yards for the 49ers (3-5), who have dropped four in a row since a solid 3-1 start.
