The Tennessee Titans' season didn't go well at all. A 23-13 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 11 dropped them to 8-2, and they will face the AFC South Division-leading Houston Texans in Week 12 at NRG Stadium.
It will be another tough test for the Titans, but even in these tough contests, the last few weeks have shown significant improvement in the play of quarterback Will Levis. Head coach Brian Callahan spoke to the media on Monday about his progress.
A detailed response from Titans HC Brian Callahan on Will Levis' progress and his ability to create explosiveness downfield:

First, Callahan discusses the process they used to get Levis to this point. The repetitions he's done, the ability to watch and learn, and the final step is incorporating that knowledge into his game. He praises Bryce Oliver for being in the right spot when Levis threw the ball his way after Calvin Ridley's touchdown was called back for a penalty. But Levis also trusted his receiver would be in the right place at the right time.
When asked if he thought it was more the coaches planning the plays or Levis seeing them better, Callahan said, “It's probably both,” citing things he and Will do, to make these throws possible. “I don’t want to say we’re there yet,” Callahan said. “But there have been some positive developments and I think we need to continue this more consistently.”
Callahan also commented on the administration.
. HC Brian Callahan: Had not been called for an illegal formation all season until Sunday (when three were called). We coach it and are aware of it. These are subjective assessments, and the officials felt we were misaligned

He kept it professional and to the point, but it's clear he wasn't a fan of what the game was called.
The Titans and Texans meet this Sunday at 1 p.m. EDT.
