The Tennessee Titans got Will Levis back on the field this week to face the Los Angeles Chargers on the road. It wasn’t necessarily the return that Brian Callahan hoped for, but overall Levis’ play wasn’t terrible. The defense struggled mightily, though, which is largely due to fatigue, and the Titans lost 27-17, bringing their season record to 2-7.

The Titans are a mediocre team all around, and it’s showing week in and week out.
Tennessee’s defense has played well in spots, and to be league-average while supporting a bad offense and playing the seventh-hardest schedule deserves some credit. Unfortunately, it’s not good enough to lift this team into any level of contention while playing with that…
