Titans quarterback Will Levis throws longest touchdown pass of the NFL season with 98 yards to Nick Westbrook-Ikhine

This has largely been a season to forget for Titans second-year quarterback Will Levis.

But he recorded one for the highlight of Sunday’s 23-13 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.

Lévis threw a 98-yard touchdown pass to Nick Westbrook-Ikhine for the longest offensive touchdown of the 2024 season.

The third-quarter pass secured the Titans’ first touchdown of the day. The Vikings threw five TD passes on third-and-10. But the Tennessee offensive line held on to buy Levis time as he ran out of the Titans’ end zone.

Westbrook-Ikhine broke free on a move route down the right sideline, and Levis found him with a deep ball that Westbrook-Ikhine gathered near the Tennessee 35-yard line.

Vikings safety Joshua Metellus dived desperately as Westbrook-Ikhine caught the pass. But he was already beaten. With no defender between him and the end zone, Westbrook-Ikhine sprinted untouched down the sideline to secure the 98-yard score.

The touchdown cut Minnesota’s lead to 16-10 midway through the third quarter.

Although it was the longest offensive touchdown of the NFL season, it was not the longest in Titans history. That honor belongs to Derrick Henry, who rumbled for a 99-yard touchdown ran in 2018 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
