The Tennessee Titans pulled off an upset for the ages on Monday night, with rookie quarterback Will Levis leading his team to an improbable comeback win over the Miami Dolphins, 28-27.
The Titans looked dead in the water after two blunders led to a pair of Miami touchdowns that put Tennessee behind 27-13 with four-plus minutes left in the game.
However, with straight ice water in his veins, Levis drove the Titans down the field twice in the closing minutes to give Tennessee the victory in what could be a defining moment for the future of the franchise.
What can’t get lost in all of this is how great the defense was, with the unit keeping a high-powered Dolphins offense in check all night long and making a final stop to complete the unbelievable win.
Here’s what Levis and the Titans had to say about their impressive Week 14 win over the Dolphins.

Mike Vrabel said he told the #Titans defense to go out there in the red zone like it was sudden change. The red zone defense is tops (37%) in the NFL and kept the Dolphins league-best ref zone scoring offense (75%). pic.twitter.com/tHva0E2dZi
