MIAMI GARDENS.- Rookie Will Levis passed for a career-high 327 yards and led two scoring drives in the final four and a half minutes, and the Tennessee Titans rallied to upset Miami 28-27 on Monday night, going down to the Dolphins from the top of the AFC.
The Titans (5-8) held off Tua Tagovailoa and Miami’s explosive offense for most of the game, but still trailed by two touchdowns in the fourth quarter, thanks to critical mistakes that gave the ball to the Dolphins.

Levis, a second-round draft pick and making his sixth career start, took over from there. He led a nine-play, 75-yard drive that consumed 1:54 of the clock, capped by a three-yard touchdown pass to DeAndre Hopkins and a two-point conversion pass to Nick Westbrook-Ikhine.
The Titans stopped Miami and Levis went to work again, connecting with Hopkins for 28 yards and Chigoziem Okonkwo for 16 yards to put himself in scoring position. Derrick Henry had a three-yard touchdown run and with the extra point, Tennessee took a one-point lead.
The Dolphins attempted a decisive drive with no timeouts available and reached their 45-yard line, but Harold Landry III sacked Tagovailoa to seal the Titans’ victory. Miami lost for the first time at home this season.
Miami played much of the game without its star wide receiver, Tyreek Hill, who sat out the second quarter and most of the third after injuring his ankle in the first quarter.
