Will Levis Turns Corner for Tennessee Titans: Coach Brian Callahan Reveals Key Difference
After a tumultuous start to the season, Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis has begun to turn things around, catching the attention of both fans and coaches. Earlier in the season, Levis struggled significantly, missing targets, throwing interceptions, and contributing to the team’s losing streak. This led many to speculate about his future as the starting quarterback, with some suggesting that Shedeur Sanders or Cam Ward could take over the role.
However, since returning from a shoulder injury, Levis has shown a marked improvement. He recently led the Titans to a surprising road victory over the Houston Texans, despite being sacked eight times behind a struggling offensive line. This resurgence has been attributed to a newfound “calming presence” and increased confidence, according to Titans head coach Brian Callahan. Callahan noted that there is now a better comfort level between him and Levis, and he has a better understanding of the throws that Levis excels at.
Levis’ overall statistics for the season still reflect his early struggles, with 1,447 yards, 10 touchdowns, and nine interceptions, along with a 67% completion rate and an 85.6 passer rating. Nevertheless, his recent performances have sparked optimism within the Titans’ locker room. The question now is whether Levis has done enough to secure his position as the starting quarterback for the foreseeable future. While he still needs to maintain a strong performance in the remaining weeks, his progress is a positive sign for the team.
The Titans are set to face the Washington Commanders in their next game, providing another opportunity for Levis to build on his recent success. As the season unfolds, Levis’ ability to sustain this level of performance will be crucial in determining his long-term role with the Titans).
