Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Will Levis had one of the funniest plays in Week 13.

Against the Indianapolis Colts, the second-round pick out of Kentucky was sacked and lost a fumble. However, he sprinted upfield, forced a fumble and recovered it.

It was a heads-up play by Levis, which the Titans capitalized on. After the recovery, they had a 10-play, 46-yard drive that culminated in a 24-yard field goal by Nick Folk, giving them a 10-7 lead with 0:20 remaining in the first quarter.

Levis recently replaced Ryan Tannehill as the Titans starting quarterback. The 23-year-old has flashed potential, but he's inconsistent. In five games, he's completed 59.9 percent of his passes for 1,042 yards, six TDs, two interceptions and a below-average 36.3 QBR.

But he has a toughness and a will to win, which are imperative qualities for a franchise quarterback. The Titans (4-7) are out of the playoff hunt, so Levis becoming the future of the franchise would be a silver lining.
