Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Will Levis made the second start of his NFL career during Thursday night’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and he also suffered his first loss, throwing a game-sealing interception to cap off a 20-16 defeat. And he’s not too happy about it.
The interception came as Will Levis was trying to give the Titans a game-winning touchdown. Instead, he threw an interception to Steelers linebacker Kwon Alexander that ended the game.
“Losing sucks, especially at this level,” Levis said in his postgame press conference according to Pro Football Talk. “So, [it’s] hard to win games, and when you get an opportunity like that to win at the end and [it] doesn’t happen, makes you feel a whole lot worse.
“Credit to them — they made the plays when they needed to, and we didn’t.”
Despite the loss, Levis did play well – but he isn’t wasting much time dwelling on how he did individually.
“I don’t need to think about that,” Levis said. “I’m just trying to do my job and not looking for approval from anybody. Just trying to go out and win games and do what’s asked of me at the position.”
It will certainly be interesting to see how he develops as a quarterback this season.
