Titans' Will Levis faces ridicule after inexplicable turnover for 2nd straight week
Levis made a similar bad play against the Bears
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis was ridiculed for the second consecutive week for creating an inexplicable turnover – this time it came Sunday against the New York Jets.
Levis had the Titans in the red zone, looking to go up two touchdowns on the Jets early in the game. Levis took the snap, looked to his right and started to find space through the pocket. He was faced with a couple of would-be Jets tacklers.

As Levis moved up through the pocket, he was tripped. He then tried to shovel a backward pass to running back Tyjae Spears. The pass was too low and he wasn’t able to get the pass completed. Instead, Jets defenders jumped on the ball and recovered the fumble.
Jets defensive lineman Quinnen Williams recovered the fumble and NFL fans took Levis to task over the play.

It was the second straight week that Levis had a head-scratching turnover. Against the Chicago Bears last week, Levis again was trying to create something out of nothing.
