Will Levis was on the wrong end of another embarrassing turnover to begin Sunday’s game between the Tennessee Titans and New York Jets. Brian Callahan was absolutely baffled by his quarterback’s horrible decision in the red zone.

CBS caught the head coach’s reaction on camera and it will surely become a meme to be used for a very long time.

Levis, who really wants you to know that he is actually good at football after a horrible interception during a loss in Week 1, got off to a pretty solid start in his first game back. The former second round draft pick led Tennessee on a nine-play, 68-yard scoring drive to take a seven-point lead.

He followed it up with another nine-play, 70ish-yard drive after a New York punt.

  • 15-yard horse collar penalty
  • Six-yard run
  • Seven-yard pass
  • Six-yard pass
  • Incomplete
  • One-yard run
  • 18-yard pass
  • Loss of one
  • 11-yard pass
  • One-yard run
  • Incomplete

The Titans had 3rd-and-goal at the six-yard-line.

Levis took the snap and tried to escape the collapsing pocket by running inside his left tackle and guard. A defensive lineman on the ground forced him to go over top. He fell.

And while falling, Levis attempted an ill-advised backwards pass to his running back. It went as poorly as you would expect.

Callahan could not believe his eyes. The 40-year-old looked at his quarterback and asked the question on literally everybody’s mind: “WHAT THE F— ARE YOU DOING?!”

He was not pleased.

The jury is still out on whether Will Levis is worthy of a starting job in the NFL. Tennessee is confident in its signal-caller, but mistakes like Sunday (and the prior Sunday) cannot continue to happen. That’s two weeks in a row where he either cost his team a touchdown or the game.

If these kinds of blunders continue to add up, Brian Callahan will have no choice to eventually bench him in favor of someone who does know what the f— they are doing. There is still a long way to go before that point. Probably…
