WATCH: Titans QB Will Levis is Injured as Texans Get Defensive TD on Strip-Sack Fumble

The Tennessee Titans got salt in the wound as they did in Week 15 against the Houston Texans as rookie quarterback Will Levis was hurt again. This time, the play also resulted in a score for the Texans' defense as Levis was stripped on a sack.

The Tennessee Titans are in a massive hole as we hit halftime as they face a 20-3 deficit. The score may not be the worst thing about the first half though as rookie quarterback Will Levis, who returned to the lineup after missing last week's game with injury, was hurt and sent to the locker room on a cart after being sacked.

Levis hit the play-action fake to Derrick Henry, but then had immediate pressure from the outside as John Ojukwo, playing at tight end here, was beat to the outside. Levis was unable to step up in the pocket because of the pressure coming from Dillon Radunz, playing right tackle, getting beat as well. 

With no where to go, Levis was hit hard, causing a fumble, which the Texans picked up and took to the house. A tough play all around for the Titans who are being outclassed.
