Titans vs. Steelers live score, updates, highlights from NFL ‘Thursday Night Football’ game

You won’t find many better debut performances than Will Levis’ four-touchdown showcase in the Titans’ win over the Falcons last week. The second-round pick had long been tipped for sporting excellence, especially after shining so brightly during his tenure at Kentucky.

Levis’ tools were obvious. He has a lively arm and proved himself capable of attacking all three levels of opposition defenses throughout his days in Lexington.

Could that translate to the next level, though? It’s hard to maintain your composure as a swarm of chevaliers descend on the pocket. How would Levis adjust to NFL-caliber pass rushes and secondaries?

If one game is any indication, quite well. In addition to his four scores, Levis completed 19 of 29 passes for 238 yards. Perhaps more importantly, he showed a desire to get the ball to star wideout DeAndre Hopkins, who turned back the clock with a four-catch, three-touchdown display.

There’s still plenty to see from Levis. But it was certainly a bright start. Now, he gets the chance to do it again, hoping to overwhelm a Steelers defense teeming with injuries on “Thursday Night Football.”

Pittsburgh (4-3) has enjoyed a fairly strong start to the season. But it enters its Week 9 clash with a gaping wound in the secondary: star cornerback Minkah Fitzpatrick will be sidelined with a hamstring injury.

Levis has his work cut out for him still. Handling the Pittsburgh defense is no easy touch, especially not with a front four featuring T.J. Watt. Still, the rookie QB has proved he’s got something. Now, he must cultivate it again and prove to the masses that he is a real hurling threat in this league.

That’s easier said than done.

Titans vs. Steelers live updates, highlights from Thursday Night Football

(All times Eastern)

10:08 p.m.: Pickett making things shake partway through the third frame, helping bring the Black and Yellow down deep into Tennessee territory. Hasn’t necessarily been a classic affair for the Pittsburgh hurler, But if he could make things more effective, that could make the difference.

9:45 p.m.: FIELD GOAL! Pittsburgh answers right back with three points, the piece de resistance after another impressive Steelers possession.

Titans 10, Steelers 10

9:19 p.m.: TOUCHDOWN! Great extra effort by Henry; the burly back romps through the contact to give Tennessee the lead. 11 plays for 73 yards ends in style. Great showcase by Henry, Levis and the whole Titans offense.

Titans 10, Steelers 7

9:17 p.m.: D-Hop nabs his third catch of the day, moving the chains in the process. He’s already up to 51 yards on the day. That toe injury doesn’t look to have impacted him all that much.

9:13 p.m.: Levis showcasing his golden arm. Looks like he’s really enjoying things thus far, routinely peering back at his sideline after completing passes. Just lofted a 23-yard balloon, shortly after completing a 17-yarder. Decent showing for the youngster so far, all things considered.

End of first quarter: Steelers 7, Titans 3

8:55 p.m.: Impressive toss by Levis, who places a ball right over the defense’s airfield to find Hopkins. The longtime All-Pro did the rest, trekking some 29 yards down the field to pick up the first down. 

8:48 p.m.: The Steelers see their second drive of the game end in smoke. Pickett’s third down throw strays wide, bringing the punt team on the field.

8:41 p.m.: FIELD GOAL! Pittsburgh’s defense firms up, prompting Nick Folk onto the field to hit his 17th straight field goal to start the campaign.

Steelers 7, Titans 3

8:38 p.m.: Another Porter penalty brings the Titans even closer to the end zone. Not the greatest start in terms of discipline for Pittsburgh’s defense.

8:35 p.m.: Some decent completions by Levis, coupled with strong running from Tyjae Spears and Derrick Henry, brings Tennessee deep into Pittsburgh territory. Joey Porter Jr. yanked on Spears’ face mask after a decent gain, taking the Titans on the brink of the red zone.

8:29 p.m.: TOUCHDOWN! Najee Harris scampers into the promised land from short distance! Pickett and Pittsburgh showed an impressive fluidity on the opening drive, marauding down the field both through the air and on the ground. The Steelers hurler connected with George Pickens for a sizable gain, one of the more momentous plays of the drive.

Steelers 7, Titans 0

8:18 p.m.: Pickett connects with Allen Robinson to move the chains on third down.

8:17 p.m.: The ball is kicked off and away we go! Pickett and the Steelers stream onto the field to start things up!

8:10 p.m.: High praise from J.J. Watt, who said his brother is going to smash all the marks he set over the course of his career. Given T.J.’s start, that seems a real possibility.

8:00 p.m.: The return of the Gangsta:

7:20 p.m.: Primetime Levis. Can’t beat it. Or can you? The Steelers will find out soon enough.

7:00 p.m.: Look who’s back in the saddle: Cam Heyward makes his return to the field after eight weeks away with a groin injury.

6:40 p.m.: Here’s a look at those who will be watching today’s game from the sidelines:

6:20 p.m.: Tailback Jonathan Ward will also take part in this one. Should offer some support for star running back Derrick Henry.

6:00 p.m.: Good news for Titans fans: DeAndre Hopkins IS playing tonight. His toe ailment won’t keep him out of this one.
