For Will Levis, the quarterback of the Tennessee Titans, Week 2 of the NFL season began much like Week 1 ended.

A week ago the second-year passer threw a disastrous Pick-Six, a play that had us wondering here at SB Nation if the quarterback’s mayonnaise-inspired fragrance had somehow impacted his decision-making skills. That decision also gave us a mid-play “surrender cobra” from Levis, already the NFL Meme of the Season.

Midway through the second quarter of Tennessee’s game against the New York Jets, Levis and the Titans were driving, deep in New York territory. Facing 3rd and goal, however, Levis decided to do ... this:

The result, perhaps predictably, led to a turnover as the Jets pounced on the loose football.
I mean, I’m not one for “screenshot scouting” but we now might have our second NFL Meme of the Year contender from Levis:
As you might expect, Titans head coach Brian Callahan had some ... questions:
The coach did not stop there:
Callahan was not alone in asking questions about that play.
Hopefully for Levis’ sake, he can find some better answers over the rest of the game.
