Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan did not exactly offer much encouraging feedback on quarterback Will Levis’ Week 1 performance.

Callahan was critical of Levis’ performance in the second half of Sunday’s loss to the Chicago Bears, a game that saw the Titans blow a 17-0 lead. The collapse was capped off by Levis’ horrendous decision to try to flip the ball to a receiver while being sacked instead of just going down, which instead resulted in a go-ahead pick six for Chicago.

On Monday, Callahan said he was “surprised by some things” Levis did in the loss and was sharply critical of the quarterback’s carelessness with the ball. The coach added that Levis had even been reminded at the end of the third quarter that minimizing errors was the most important factor given the ineffectiveness of the Chicago offense.

That is not exactly an encouraging assessment of one’s quarterback. The good news for Levis is that it is only Week 1 and it is a lesson learned, but Callahan certainly seemed to believe that his quarterback was further along.

One NFL analyst had an even harsher assessment of Levis’ decision-making during the Titans’ fourth quarter defeat.
