Tennessee’s rookie quarterback couldn’t lead his team to a win in his second career start, but he displayed some valuable traits against a tough defense.
’ rookie quarterback had to deal with edge rushers T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith in Pittsburgh four days after his sensational debut against theLevis had two weeks to prepare for a home game against the Falcons, who didn’t know what to expect from the 2023 second-round pick. Also, Atlanta doesn’t boast the type of pass rushers that theLevis saw frequent pressure in the 20–16 loss against the Steelers, but he made many impressive plays during.
Levis was sacked four times Thursday and showed his inexperience at times.Philip G. Pavely/USA TODAY SportsThere were a few times that Levis made it obvious he was going to throw to Hopkins. The rookie signal-caller forced a pass to the former All-Pro that was nearly intercepted on the final drive. Earlier in the game, Patrick Peterson broke up a pass intended for Hopkins on third-and-8 to start the second half.
In the fourth quarter with Steelers fans waving their towels, the Titans again went to a 12-personnel look with Henry in the backfield and two tight ends deep in their own territory. But Kelly had Levis pass—a 21-yard pass to Burks to quiet the crowd in Pittsburgh.It might have been upsetting for Steelers fans to watch Levis have a productive performance while Pickett again struggled to move the Steelers upfield for most of the game.
Also, the presence of Henry and Hopkins made it difficult for Pittsburgh to defend play-action plays. The combination of Levis’s skill set, standout playmakers and savvy play-calling allowed the Titans to hold a lead in the fourth quarter. Kelly might be kicking himself for calling three straight runs on Tennessee’s penultimate drive.
