The Tennessee Titans fell to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday by a score of 20-17 but the score is what it is. Something bigger happened during the game, an injury to a non-player.

While scrambling for a first down near the end of the first quarter, Will Levis was shoved out of bounds, lost control of his body, and rolled into a sideline chain gang member. We learned that this man's name was Brian Robb and he was clearly in a ton of pain after the collision with Levis, rolling on the ground and clutching his leg.

Paul Kuharsky revealed on X that Robb "broke his leg and had surgery Tuesday. He is expected to make a full recovery."

The play happened so quickly but it was clear that Robb was in pain after the play. It was no one's fault by any means, there are so many people on the sidelines that have jobs to do and this was just an unfortunate moment and an example of someone being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Levis was not injured on the play and finished the game going 16-of-27 for 95 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. It was another less-than-stellar outing for the former second-round pick as he continues to try to prove that he's the answer at quarterback for the Tennessee Titans.

This moment, however, went viral on social media because it's been something else that's gone wrong during one of Levis' starts this season. The second-year quarterback out of Kentucky went viral in Week 1 after he threw a game-sealing pick six and he dropped to his knees after the play. He had a terrible fumble that led to his head coach asking him what the F he was doing there.

His face while receiving treatment for an injury in Week 5 went viral as well. Now, the moment Levis rolled into someone on the sideline doing their job and injuring him has joined that meme. Let's be clear here -- While Levis has had some comical moments this season, someone getting injured wasn't funny.

Fortunately, Brian Robb is expected to make a full recovery and that's the most important bit of news here.
