The Tennessee Titans benched quarterback Will Levis during their game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday after a series of turnovers. Levis threw three interceptions, including a pick-six, and lost a fumble, leading to his replacement by veteran Mason Rudolph in the third quarter. Levis completed 8-of-12 passes for 89 yards before being benched. The Titans lost the game 37-27, marking their third consecutive loss and dropping their record to 3-11. This was the first time Levis had been benched for non-injury reasons in his career. Rudolph, who took over, threw for 209 yards and two touchdowns on 21-of-26 passes but also had an interception. The game was notable for its high number of turnovers, with a total of 10, and 26 penalties, making it a historically sloppy affair. Running back Tony Pollard also lost a fumble, and rookie defensive tackle T'Vondre Sweat had a memorable highlight with a 30-yard gain after a sack.
