It Appears The Titans Have Found Their Quarterback as Rookie Will Levis Looked Pretttttty, Pretttttty Good In His Debut Today
The Tennessean - It took Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Will Levis just three quarters to surpass starter Ryan Tannehill's touchdown total this season.
Midway through the fourth quarter, he had doubled it.
Levis, in his first NFL career start, has thrown four touchdowns, three of them to DeAndre Hopkins, including a 61-yarder late in third quarter of Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons.
Levis' fourth touchdown was to Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, a 33-yard pass that gave the Titans a 28-16 lead
Tannehill, who is out with a high right ankle sprain suffered two weeks ago against the Baltimore Ravens, has two touchdowns in six games this season.
Good for Will Levis.
After that ridiculous blunder his agents and family pulled at the draft with leaking false information, then watching it backfire and him fall to 33rd, Tennessee and Mike Vrabel seemed like the perfect fit for him, and all it took was that giant albatross Ryan Tannehill to go down with an ankle sprain to open for the door for Levis.
The kid looked fantastic today.
And he did it wearing some of the best uniforms professional sports have ever seen.
Mamma mia are those colors and helmets amazing…
I get that it's one game, and its the Falcons, and he was chucking it up to one of the best receivers to play the game, but don't sleep on the Falcons. They have a legit top ten defense through 8 games so far.

Ryan Tannehill is done for. He has been for quite some time now. And he definitely doesn't win this game today.
And Levis' outstanding debut couldn't have come at a better time either, with Hopkins being scoreless this entire season (somehow), and voicing displeasure earlier this week, with rumors floating Tennesse might look to shop him before this week's deadline.
And I don't care if Deandre Hopkins catches everything you throw at him. That's the point. And don't fix something that's not broken. Give this to me all day long.
Levis didn't look like an unseasoned rookie on this play. That's as comfortable a read as you'll see, followed by a pump fake to move that Falcons safety out of position, allowing Hopkins to get behind him.
Levis finished 19 of 29 for 238 yards with four touchdowns in his first NFL start, throwing a touchdown pass in every quarter.
p.s. - could not fucking agree more with this guy
