Titans' Decision to Bench Levis
In a surprising turn of events, Titans head coach Brian Callahan has signaled a potential shake-up under center as the team prepares for their Week 16 clash against division rivals, the Indianapolis Colts. Reports from ESPN's Jeremy Fowler indicate that rookie quarterback Will Levis will be benched in favor of Mason Rudolph, who is set to take the reins this Sunday.
Levis' Performance and Struggles
Levis’ struggles have come to a head; during last week’s loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, the young quarterback was pulled from the game after throwing his third interception. This season, Levis has shown flashes of talent but has been inconsistent, completing just 63.7 percent of his passes for a total of 1,916 yards. Additionally, he has accumulated an equal number of touchdowns and interceptions, with 12 of each in his first season.
Mason Rudolph Steps In
On the other hand, veteran signal-caller Mason Rudolph has had his moments this season. He has played in five games, starting three, and has completed 63 percent of his attempts for 1,015 yards, including six touchdowns against five interceptions. Notably, Rudolph had an impressive performance against the Bengals, going 21-of-26 for 209 yards, throwing two touchdown passes, and managing just one interception.
Titan's Season Overview
After their recent performance, the Titans find themselves struggling with a dismal 3-11 record this season, having lost five of their last six games since a thrilling overtime victory over New England back in Week 9. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see if Rudolph can spark a turnaround for this beleaguered Titans team.
Looking Ahead
With a crucial matchup against the Colts looming, the pressure is on both the players and coaching staff to reclaim some respectability in the closing weeks of the season. Will this bold decision to bench Levis be the game-changer Tennessee needs? Only time will tell!
