It didn’t take long for Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis to notch his first career touchdown pass, which came on a deep ball to DeAndre Hopkins in the first quarter of the Week 8 win over the Atlanta Falcons.
The play was exactly the shot in the arm a struggling Titans offense needed, and a much-needed shot in the arm for a fan base that was looking for any semblance of hope.
As excited as his teammates and Titans fans were after the play, I’m not sure anyone was more excited than Levis himself, who was absolutely JACKED UP on Tennessee’s sideline following the score.

It’s hard to not get goosebumps watching that clip, especially when you know that was just the beginning of Levis’ special debut, which was historically good.
The rookie signal-caller threw three more touchdowns and finished with 238 yards on the afternoon. He became the third player in NFL history to throw four touchdowns in his debut, joining Marcus Mariota and Fran Tarkenton.
But we’re still a long way from being able to crown Levis the next franchise quarterback of the Titans. That will only come when he manages to stack multiple good games, something he’ll try to start doing on Thursday night.
