Nobody on the Tennessee Titans had a worse week than quarterback Will Levis, who was the main reason why his team lost to the Chicago Bears in Week 1, 24-17.
Levis turned the ball over three times, including to inexcusable interceptions. One was about the worst decision you've ever seen a quarterback make and it led to a pick-six, and the other came on the Titans' final series of the game to seal the loss.
Making Levis' showing even more frustrating was the fact that the Titans didn't even need much from him. Tennessee had a 17-3 lead going into the half and the defense played a fantastic game and didn't give up a single touchdown to the Bears' offense.
"Just a bonehead play," Levis said of his pick-six, per Jim Wyatt of team's official website. "One of the things, from a lot of things, I can learn from in this game."
Legit the worst pick six interception I have ever seen from Will Levis. Titans have the lead. Just take the sack! Just stupidity that can’t happen on any level from a starting quarterback. pic.twitter.com/LhLdD5wqHE

The good news for the Titans is, nobody is throwing Levis under the bus after one bad game. Veteran edge rusher Arden Key came to the Kentucky product's defense, according to ESPN's Turron Davenport.
Arden Key on Will Levis: He's still young. He made a young mistake. Hopefully he learns from that and keeps goings. He made a mistake and he'll get better.

Levis entered the season looking to cement himself as the team's franchise signal-caller after what was a mostly impressive rookie season. So far, Levis is off to a terrible start and looked more lost out there than he did as a rookie.
With a veteran like Mason Rudolph sitting behind him, Levis better turn things around quickly or he could find himself on the bench sooner rather than later.
