Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis continues to be one of the most inconsistent players in the NFL.

On a 3rd-and-11 at Houston's 40-yard line late in the third quarter, Texans cornerback Jimmie Ward intercepted Levis, taking it to the end zone. The 65-yard pick-six gave the Texans a 24-23 lead.

However, Levis made amends for his mistake early in the fourth quarter. On a 1st-and-10 at Tennessee's 30-yard line, he connected with tight end Chig Okonkwo on a crossing route for a 70-yard TD.

Entering Sunday's matchup against Houston, Levis — the 33rd overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft — has the same number of TD passes and interceptions (eight) in seven games.

Levis' problem could be he takes too many risks. Per Pro Football Focus, he's tied for 15th out of 40 eligible QBs in turnover-worth plays (10). Turnover-worthy plays measure when QBs throw passes that are likely to be intercepted or fail to secure the ball on fumbles.

To save his job, Levis must prove he can play turnover-free for the remainder of the season. According to Tankathon's projections, the Titans will take Miami QB Cam Ward with pick No. 3 in the 2025 NFL Draft.
