You may have seen the Chiefs beating the Bucs where the former maintained their winning streak with a record of 8-0, right? But may have not noticed what WR DeAndre Hopkins did in the game after his first TD. He did something sarcastically, which can make you laugh or smirk at the team who traded the Chiefs jersey no. 8. It’s even more evident now that the WR has something ‘interesting’ for his former franchise than just being thankful.

So, in the game between the Chief and the Bucs, the former was trailing behind in the 2nd quarter with a 3-7 score on the board. The Chiefs were about to have a touchdown with a line of scrimmage closest to the end zone. After a smash to the QB, Patrick Mahomes did a touchdown pass to Hopkins who was in the end zone and he received it like a champ. On that Touchdown Hopkins did the ‘Remember the Titans’ celebration, which caught everyone off guard.

Remarkably, that was DeAndre’s first touchdown for the franchise. After a successful touchdown, his teammates also joined the ‘Remember the Titans’ celebration within no time. ‘Remember The Titans’ is a movie released on 23rd September 2000. Denzel Washington played the lead character of head coach of the Titans in the movie and Boaz Yakin directed it. Hopkins drew inspiration from the movie for his celebration, mimicking the winning team’s unique victory style.

It was a sarcastic tribute to the former team for trading him. After the deal, the game vs the Bucs was his first for the franchise, and what a beautiful play by Hopkins! His flawless chemistry with the QB stunned the fans. Though we can’t just assess his celebration only as mere sarcasm it can be a tribute to Titans for trading him.

The 32-year-old was traded to the current franchise ahead of the November 5 deadline. He was dealt to the current franchise even amid mixed opinions. For the conditional 5th-round pick. If I’m not making a wrong judgment, the trade was quite disturbing and also exciting for DeAndre. He thanked the former team’s staff and GM for the move.

Why did DeAndre Hopkins thank the Titans’ GM for the trade?

When traded, DeAndre uttered words full of gratefulness to Titans‘ Ran Carthon and staff saying, “It means a lot”. He continued, “Those guys could’ve traded me anywhere”. In brief, Hopkins is having a good time even after transferring in the middle of the league.

It became a ‘blessing in disguise’ for the five-time pro bowler. Now he had to switch from playing with Will Levis and Mason Rudolph to assist ‘arguably’ the best QB in the league – Patrick Mahomes. And why would not be supplementary or even a golden chance to have a gem like DeAndre?

On the other hand, The Chiefs also welcomed him with a warm gesture. Tight end Travis Kelce confirmed the positive vibe in the franchise after Hopkins entered. Travis said, “DeAndre Hopkins has made the Chiefs better already since the Titans trade”. And we have experienced it with his two touchdowns for the Chiefs.

With his 11 years of experience in the league, it will be another feature in the Crown for the franchise. In the game against the Bucs, DeAndre Hopkins has started with his best. There are a couple of more games left for the spotless franchise to enter into the playoffs and bring home one more Super Bowl. Do you think any potential obstacles will cut the winning streak of the Chiefs?
