The Tennessee Titans’ season has not gone well at all. They fell to 2-8 with their 23-13 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 11, and in Week 12 they face the AFC South division leading Houston Texans at NRG Stadium.
It will be yet another tough test for the Titans, but even in these tough contests, the last few weeks have shown a significant improvement in the play of quarterback Will Levis. Head coach Brian Callahan spoke to the media on Monday about his progress.

First, Callahan discusses the process they’ve used to get Levis to this point. The reps he’s taken, the ability to watch and learn, and the final step is integrating that knowledge into his game. He credits Bryce Oliver for being in the right spot when Levis threw the ball his way after Calvin Ridley’s touchdown was called back for a penalty. But Levis also trusted that his receiver would be in the right place at the right time.
When asked if he thought this was more the coaches scheming up the plays or Levis seeing them better, Callahan replied, “It’s probably both,” citing things Will is doing and he is doing to make these throws happen. “I don’t mean to say that we’ve arrived by any stretch,” Callahan said. “But there’s been some positive developments, and I think we have to keep doing that at a more consistent rate.”
Callahan also commented on the officiating.
.@Titans HC Brian Callahan: Hadn’t been flagged for an illegal formation all season until Sunday (when flagged for three). We coach it, and are aware. Those are subjective calls, and officials felt we weren’t aligned correctly

He kept it professional and to the point, but it’s clear he wasn’t a fan of how the game was called.
The Titans and Texans face off at 1pm EDT this Sunday.
