The Tennessee Titans watched as quarterback Will Levis had another bad decision that led to a turnover, and head coach Brian Callahan did not hold back his thoughts regarding his signal-caller’s play in the loss to the New York Jets on Sunday.
On third-and-goal from the Jets’ seven-yard line in the second quarter, Levis dropped back to pass and couldn’t find anyone in the end zone to further the team’s 7-0 lead.
So, Levis decided it was time to scramble with the pocket collapsing, but after trying to jump over linemen in front of him, he was about to hit the turf for a
sack.
While NFL fans may be surprised to hear words like that from Callahan, he was the same way last week when Levis virtually threw the game away on a similar play.
Instead of just taking a sack, Levis tried to shuffle-pass a ball out of bounds, but it ended up being a pick-six for the Chicago Bears. Chicago would go on to win the game, 24-17, despite not scoring an offensive touchdown.
Quarterbacks have had trouble getting going to start the 2024 season across the league, but Levis has already thrown three interceptions to two touchdowns.
For his career thus far, Levis is 3-8 as a starter with a 59.4% completion rate and 10 touchdowns to seven interceptions. And 10 of those touchdowns came in his debut last season as a rookie.
Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan wasn’t pleased with Will Levis’ fumble in the second quarter of the team’s 24-17 loss to the New York Jets on Sunday.
“It was dumb,” Callahan said, per Mike Sando of The Athletic. “It was the same exact thing he did last week, and he cost us points in the red zone, and that is what it is. He’s a grownup and he knows better, and so I was really irritated that he cost us three points in a game that we probably needed it.”
Callahan said on Monday that it was a “lesson learned,” noting he needs to have better awareness that cameras may be on him:
