Will Levis leads Titans to miraculous MNF comeback win
“Will Levis was the best player on the field.”
Those were Dan Orlovsky’s closing words following the Tennessee Titans’ miraculous comeback against the Miami Dolphins. It was a game the 14-point road underdog trailed by, well, 14 points in the final three minutes. And then Will freaking Levis happened.
The former Wildcat led the Titans to not one, but two touchdown drives down the stretch to pull off the victory.
Levis was the first Kentucky player to start a Monday Night Football game at quarterback. He also racked up the most passing yards by a former Wildcat in an NFL regular season game (327) since Tim Couch back on Dec. 30, 2001 (336).

And this:
Levis finished the day with 327 yards, one touchdown and one interception on 23/38 passing in the comeback victory.
“I hope America liked what they saw,” Levis said after the win. “I think we showed them the type of team we always thought we could be this season. Obviously we had some lulls, but we’ve got a special locker room, special guys across the board. Defense played a heck of a job against a potent offense. So happy for them. So happy we were able to grind it out there at the end.”
