NFL – Tennessee Titans: Quarterback Will Levis benched after disastrous game

With three games left in the regular season, the Tennessee Titans have seen enough. Quarterback Will Levis is no longer the starter after another horror show.

A passer rating of 49, three interceptions, not a single touchdown. Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis had a bad night against the Cincinnati Bengals, once again. With a record of 3-11, the last of the AFC South has now pulled the rip cord.

His quarterback rating of 30.2 is the second-worst in the NFL. Only the Cleveland Browns’ Deshaun Watson, who is out with an Achilles tendon rupture, has a worse stat.

After Levis was benched in the third quarter in the duel with the Bengals, this decision will apparently now be permanent. Backup Mason Rudolph, a third-round pick in the 2019 draft and since then a backup with the Pittsburgh Steelers, is taking over as the Titans’ starting quarterback, according to ESPN.

Rudolph had already started in October when Levis suffered from a shoulder injury.

Titans QBs: Quo vadis?

The quarterback strategy of the coming years can supposedly also be seen in the decision of the southern states franchise. The Titans are clearly on track for a top-10 pick in the 2025 draft, where they can probably get a highly talented playmaker.

With Rudolph returning to the free agent market after the current season and Will Levis providing a cost-effective backup through his two-year rookie contract (worth $2.602 million in 2025), the Titans are ideally positioned to have a balanced offense.
