Will Levis Was So Fired Up After Titans' Go-Ahead Touchdown vs. Dolphins

The Titans staged a dramatic comeback win against the Dolphins on Monday night, and no one was more pleased than rookie quarterback Will Levis.

Tennessee was trailing Miami by 13 points with less than three minutes remaining in the game, but they managed to make it a one-score contest after Levis found DeAndre Hopkins in the end zone for a touchdown.

The Titans got the ball back after forcing a three-and-out in just 25 seconds, setting themselves up with one last chance at a game-winner. Levis marched the team downfield, and Derrick Henry punched in the game-tying touchdown.

After Tennessee knotted the game up at 27–27, a fired up Levis could be seen shouting along the sideline and celebrating with coach Mike Vrabel while kicker Nick Folk put Tennessee ahead by one with a successful extra point. 

Per the ESPN broadcast, NFL teams had lost 767 straight games when trailing by 14 or more points in the final three minutes of a game.

Levis ripped his helmet off and appeared to shout “Let’s go!” at Vrabel, before the pair shared an aggressive high five and a big hug. 

The rookie didn’t shy away from the spotlight during his first-ever taste of Monday night action, and he confidently guided the Titans to a sensational comeback win. He celebrated appropriately in the aftermath, strutting his stuff along the sideline with his teammates.

Levis completed 23-of-38 pass attempts in the win, racking up a career-high 327 passing yards with one touchdown and one interception as the Titans stunned the Dolphins to hand them their fourth loss of the year.
