The Titans rookie quarterback impressed with 4 touchdowns in his 1st start.

The Tennessee Titans fans can be happy today, with rookie QB Will Levis leading the organization to the win in his 1st National Football League start.

The rookie completed 19 of his 29 pass attempts for 238 yards and 4 TDs, 3 to DeAndre Hopkins — to lead the franchise to a very crucial 28-23 victory against the Atlanta Falcons.

The rookie QB joined Minnesota Vikings Hall of Famer Fran Tarkenton (1961 vs. Chicago) and ex-Tennessee QB Marcus Mariota (2015 vs. Tampa Bay) as the 3rd player in the league’s history with 4 passing TDs in his 1st career match.

Levis replaced Ryan Tannehill, who sustained a right high ankle sprain in his team’s Week 6 defeat to the Baltimore Ravens in the U.K. Ryan had been ruled out on Friday.

The rookie 1st touchdown in the league was a 47-yard strike in the 1st quarter to Hopkins.
