Became the franchise’s first rookie starting quarterback to win a primetime game since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger.

Led the team back from a 14-point deficit (27-13) with less than three minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, engineering a pair of touchdown drives. He completed a three-yard touchdown pass to DeAndre Hopkins with 2:40 on the clock, immediately followed by a completion to Nick Westbrook-Ikhine for a two-point conversion. On the offense’s next drive, he led a 64-yard march for a touchdown that included back-to-back passes of 36 yards to Hopkins and 16 yards to Chig Okonkwo. A Derrick Henry touchdown run and subsequent extra point gave Levis the first game-winning drive of his career.
