TENNESSEE Titans have reportedly made a decision about Will Levis’ possible benching for Week 16’s clash against the Indianapolis Colts.
The quarterback had a nightmare on Sunday, when he was removed in the third quarter against the Cincinnati Bengals, with his ex-girlfriend Gia Duddy watching from the stands.

The Titans quarterback, 25, threw three interceptions and lost a fumble before being taken out of the 37-27 defeat to the Bengals.
One of his interceptions to Geno Stone was returned for a touchdown – a common sight for Titans fans.
After one of the worst days of his pro career, it was then revealed that Duddy was watching the game from a corporate box.
And now things have gone from bad to worse for Levis as he looks set to be benched ahead of Sunday’s trip to Indiana.
The Titans are last in the AFC South on a 3-11 record after Sunday’s loss and have won just once in their last six games.
Levis was benched midway through the game in favor of Mason Rudolph, who threw 26 passes and two touchdowns in relief.
Rudolph is now in line to start Sunday.
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler said: “The Tennessee Titans are planning to make a switch at quarterback this week.
“Rudolph is the logical candidate to step in for starter Will Levis, who likely heads to the bench barring surprise.“
Levis leads the NFL in pick-sixes with four. No other quarterback in Titans/Oilers history has thrown four pick-sixes in a season.

He has completed 63.7 per cent of his passes for 1,916 yards, 12 touchdowns and 12 interceptions this season.
Turnovers have defined his 2024 campaign, as Levis racked up 17 total giveaways – second only to Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins.
For reference, there are 15 NFL teams that have yet to commit 17 turnovers.
Meanwhile, Levis’ ex-girlfriend Duddy, 23, became a social media hit after she was spotted next to the QB during the 2023 NFL Draft.
Kentucky Wildcats star Levis was selected early in the second round via a trade with the Arizona Cardinals.
She now has more than 285,000 followers on Instagram and 600k on TikTok and has secured multiple paid partnerships.
Duddy, who was wearing a Titans jacket, has stayed in Nashville despite splitting from Levis.
One video from the game showed her drinking outside the stadium with the caption: “When you’re still drunk from the night before but the show must go on.”
Another image showed her and a group of friends sat together watching the game.
Duddy, who met Levis at Kentucky, was seemingly a guest of Raising Cane’s as she also shared images of her holding a branded cup.
