One of the better things to come out of the Tennessee Titas’ miraculous Week 14 win over the Miami Dolphins was rookie quarterback Will Levis’ celebration after he led the Titans on the go-ahead scoring drive.
After running back Derrick Henry scored what proved to be the game-winning touchdown, Levis could be seen on the sideline going absolutely nuclear when celebrating the result of the biggest drive of his young career.
Not that it was ever in doubt, but Levis’ competitive fire and passion for the game was on full display in what was an unforgettable clip from an even more unforgettable game.

When asked about Levis’ celebration, Titans offensive coordinator Tim Kelly, who was on the receiving end of the Kentucky product’s energetic embrace, praised Levis’ competitive nature while noting his quarterback gets “crazy eyes” when he’s “Hulk-ing out” like he did on Monday night.
“You love it,” Kelly said, per Jim Wyatt. “He is a hell of a competitor, and it was really cool for me to be able to see him, to see our offense go down there and execute in a critical situation, against a good opponent, on the road, and on national television.
“I was really proud of the way he was able to operate and go function, and lead the offense down to put us in a position to win the game,” Kelly added. “He has those crazy eyes, when he starts Hulk-ing out. But I was proud of him. It was a cool moment for him.”
I’m not sure Kelly could’ve described Levis any better. There is no question the rookie signal-caller’s energy in that moment was next level, and it’s something any team would love to see from its quarterback.
