Titans' QB Will Levis Under Fire: Changes Phone Number Amid Fan Backlash!

2024-09-19

In a shocking turn of events, Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis has decided to change his phone number following an avalanche of furious text messages from fans unhappy with his performance during the first two games of the current NFL season.

Levis revealed to reporters that his phone number was leaked, resulting in "a lot of texts" flooding in from frustrated supporters who are expressing their disappointment.

The young quarterback's inaugural season as the Titans' starting QB has been tumultuous. In Week 1, Levis found himself in a dire position after throwing a pick-six to Chicago Bears cornerback Tyrique Stevenson, leading to an embarrassing 24-17 defeat. His body language spoke volumes—showing despair as he adopted the infamous surrender cobra stance on the field.

The situation escalated in Week 2 during a game against the New York Jets. With the Titans holding a 7-0 lead, Levis attempted a questionable shovel pass to running back Tyjae Spears on a critical third-and-goal play. The execution failed miserably, as the pass was intercepted by Jets linebacker Quincy Williams, swinging momentum to the Jets who ultimately won the game 24-17. This prompted on-field criticism from Titans head coach Brian Callahan, who visibly expressed his frustration with Levis as he returned to the sidelines after the turnover.

In the postgame press conference, Callahan did not hold back in his assessment. "It was dumb," he declared, referencing Levis' misguided choice and highlighting a pattern of issues. "It was the same exact mistake as last week, costing us crucial points in the red zone. He’s a grown-up and he knows better. I was really irritated that he cost us three points in a game that we probably needed."

Despite the harsh criticism, Callahan noted a silver lining: he observed improved aspects of Levis' performance, particularly in his pocket movement and overall awareness on the field, stating that these areas had seen enhancement compared to the prior week.

Levis currently leads the NFL with five turnovers in just two games, a statistic that surely weighs heavily on his shoulders. The Titans have managed to keep their games competitive, but their inability to secure victories has raised questions about Levis’ capacity to lead the team moving forward.

As the Titans prepare for their upcoming challenge, all eyes will be on Will Levis to see if he can turn the tide and win back the trust of fans who have taken to their screens to voice their discontent. Will he rise to the occasion or continue down this tumultuous path? Only time will tell!
