Given the benefit of the early bye in relief, Levis returned to the starting lineup in Week 6, completing 16 of 27 passes for 95 yards, one touchdown and one interception in a 20–17 loss to the Colts. After that match, it became clear that Levis needed more time to recover, as he would sit on the bench for the next three weeks while Rudolph took over.
Tennessee has a rough patch in 2024, regardless of who plays at quarterback. Levis produced flashes of production, but often made mind-numbing errors that contributed to his defeats.
Meanwhile, Rudolph performed with a low ceiling, keeping the offense afloat while lacking big-play ability. He put together his best game in the overtime win over New England last week, completing 60.6 percent of his passes for two turnovers and an interception.
With the Giants out of playoff contention at 2-6, Levis’ evaluation may take precedence over focusing solely on winning games. They’ll try to do both this weekend against a Chargers team that is gaining strength, having won three of their last four games on Sunday.
