Titans rookie quarterback Will Levis impressed in his second consecutive start on Thursday night, showcasing his skills on the road.
Despite a strong debut with four touchdowns, Levis finished the game 22-of-39 for 262 yards with one interception. The interception occurred on his final pass, intended for tight end Josh Whyle in the end zone, but linebacker Kwon Alexander made the play instead.
In a postgame press conference, Levis expressed his frustration over the loss, acknowledging the difficulty of winning at this level. He admitted that failing to capitalize on the opportunity to win at the end of the game made the defeat even more painful. Levis credited the opposing team for making crucial plays when it mattered most.
After the game, Levis took some time alone in the locker room to reflect on the outcome and contemplate what he could have done differently.
Despite the Titans’ offense producing just one touchdown in the game, Levis has shown promising potential as the team’s starting quarterback. When asked if he feels he has earned the respect of his teammates after two starts, Levis humbly responded, stating that he focuses on executing his responsibilities and doesn’t seek approval from others. His primary goal is to win games and fulfill his role on the team.
So far, Levis has completed 60.3 percent of his passes for 500 yards, along with four touchdowns and one interception, resulting in a solid 96.4 passer rating. With his performances, Levis appears to be a strong candidate for the starting role throughout the rest of the season. However, when questioned about his desires for the starting position, he emphasized that it is up to the coach to make that decision, and his focus remains on doing his job.
