Will Levis, Winless Titans Draw Dolphins in Possible ‘Snoop’ Spot Start

Quarterback Will Levis’ most memorable NFL moment came last season during a thrilling Monday night comeback against the Miami Dolphins. As fate would have it, Levis and the winless Tennessee Titans return to the same venue for another Monday night showdown in Miami Gardens, Fla., with hopes of capturing their first victory of the season.

Levis Looks to Recreate Monday Night Magic

Last December, Levis led the Titans to a stunning 28-27 comeback win over the Dolphins, passing for a career-high 327 yards and engineering a 15-point rally in just 51 seconds. However, both teams find themselves in very different circumstances this season.

“It was a lot of fun,” Levis reflected on last year’s comeback win. “But different team, different season for both of us. Any time you play on Monday night, the whole world is watching.”

The Titans (0-3) enter this contest looking for their first win of the season after being outscored 78-48 through three games.

Dolphins Facing Quarterback Uncertainty

The Miami Dolphins (1-2) have their own challenges, particularly at quarterback after losing Tua Tagovailoa to a concussion in Week 2. With Tagovailoa on injured reserve and out until at least Oct. 27, Miami’s offense has struggled. Skylar Thompson started last week’s 24-3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, completing 13 of 19 passes for 107 yards before exiting with a rib injury in the third quarter.

With Thompson limited in practice, the Dolphins are weighing their options between Tim Boyle and newly signed Tyler “Snoop” Huntley, who joined the team on Sept. 16.

Miami head coach Mike McDaniel said Thursday, “We targeted [Huntley] for a reason. And it’s a player that we’re very familiar with from the opponent’s standpoint.”

Huntley Could Get the Nod

Huntley, who has 10 NFL starts under his belt, including one postseason appearance, may have the edge due to his experience. McDaniel and the Dolphins’ staff are keeping an eye on Huntley’s performance in practice before making a final decision.

“I have in my mind what I think, how it could play out,” McDaniel said. “But it’s a little premature for a multitude of reasons.”

Dolphins’ Offensive Struggles

Miami ranks last in the NFL in scoring, averaging just 11 points per game. The Dolphins have gone seven quarters without a touchdown and have been outscored 55-13 in their last two losses. Star wide receiver Tyreek Hill has been quiet in the last two games, with only six catches for 64 yards and no touchdowns.

Despite these struggles, Hill expressed confidence, saying, “Very confident. We have a heck of a coaching staff who’s able to put together a crazy gameplan. It’s going to be a crazy game Monday night.”

Hill has also been impressed with Huntley, stating, “This dude can make every throw… He’s a special talent, man.”

Titans’ Turnover Woes

The Titans’ offense has also struggled, ranking 28th in scoring (16.0 points per game) and 29th in total offense (260.3 yards per game). Levis has been at the center of these issues, tying for the NFL lead with eight turnovers (five interceptions and three lost fumbles). Despite the turnovers, veteran receiver DeAndre Hopkins has faith in his quarterback.

“I wouldn’t want anyone else out there on the field the way he prepares and goes about his day,” Hopkins said. “I think he’s going to learn from his mistakes.”

Levis enters Monday’s game with a 3-9 record as a starter.

Injury Reports

The Titans will be without cornerback Chidobe Awuzie, who was placed on injured reserve due to a groin injury. Defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons (elbow) also missed practice Friday, raising concerns about his availability.

For the Dolphins, left tackle Terron Armstead and cornerback Kendall Fuller remain in concussion protocol. Linebacker David Long and cornerback Siran Neal are dealing with hamstring injuries, though Neal returned to practice in a limited capacity on Friday.
