While it was expected, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will officially be facing off against Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis on Sunday.
Titans head coach Mike Vrabel confirmed to media Tuesday that Levis will remain Tennessee’s starting quarterback going forward. Levis was filling in for an injured Ryan Tannehill in the team’s last two games due to Tannehill suffering a high ankle sprain, but Tannehill will remain on the bench and Levis will take over for the Titans.
Levis has had a tumultuous two games as a starter so far. He threw four touchdowns in his debut against the Atlanta Falcons, but he threw no touchdowns and a game-sealing interception against the Steelers. He clearly has showcased the ability to show out, though, so the Bucs defense will need to be wary due to his lack of film and potential he displayed against Atlanta.
Head coach Todd Bowles has a winning record against rookie QBs with the Bucs, but that record took a hit against C.J. Stroud in Week 9. Bowles is 7-5 against rookie quarterbacks, and he’ll need to tap into the winning side of things as much as he can in the next two weeks — after Levis, the Bucs will face rookie QB Bryce Young and the Carolina Panthers.
