NASHVILLE — If you thought the Tennessee Titans' offensive line was bad with Ryan Tannehill under center, just wait until you see how poorly they’ve protected Will Levis.

Over the last three weeks, the rookie quarterback has been facing an uphill battle in every game due to poor play and numerous injuries on his offensive line. But whether it's the starters or the backups hasn't mattered, Levis has been running for his life.

The recent pass protection metrics from PFF really paint a picture of just how bad Tennessee has been up front.

In Week 10, Levis was the NFL’s second most pressured quarterback behind only Tommy DeVito of the New York Giants. In Week 9, Levis was the third most pressured  NFL QB behind Zach Wilson and Justin Herbert, who played each other.

Since Levis took over as the starting quarterback for an injured Ryan Tannehill in Week 8, he has been pressured a shocking 59 times on 118 passing drop backs. That's an even 50 percent. 47 of those 59 pressures have come in the last two games alone. Both in hostile environments on the road.

More pass pro stats for you because why not.

To make matters worse, Tennessee’s defense hasn’t reciprocated any of that pressure on opposing QBs. The Titans have been out pressured 47-11 over the last two weeks and 59-21 since Levis became the starter.

You’re going to lose a lot of football games with numbers like that. It hasn’t mattered who was out there or what rotations the Titans have made, they’re overpowered up front and Levis hasn’t stood a chance. 

Mike Vrabel and the Titans staff are committing a cardinal sin of coaching

Titans coaches are pressing all the wrong buttons.
