The Tennessee Titans had been looking like a leaderless herd for some time now. But now with their quarterback Will Levis’ new avatar, it seems that they finally have a leader! In the game against the Indianapolis Colts, the QB ramped it up and gave an earful to his wideout, DeAndre Hopkins. Will they manage to secure a win for the Titans?
While Will Levis is a rookie who has been assigned the leadership position in the team, Hopkins is a seasoned player with 10 years of experience under his belt. It’s refreshing to see a rookie QB take on a veteran player for poor performance placing the team above his personal respect for his much senior teammate.

Levis threw the ball, targeting Hopkins near the 20-yard line. But try as he might, the ball was too far out for him to catch. The incomplete pass resulted in Levis shouting at Hopkins. The video of the incident was shared by@NFLRookieWatxh, but we could not make out what Levis told Hopkins. The video was captioned, “The leader Tennessee has longed for has ARRIVED 😳”.

Even though it was not entirely Hopkins’ fault as the ball did sail out of bounds leaving little chance for him to catch it. But at the end, everything was good and the two teammates buried the hatchet soon enough. Even though the Titans lost to the Colts 28-31, their offense had a strong day, recording 239 yards and scoring 3 TDs.
How does the future look for the Titans with their latest defeat?

A lot is at stake for the Titans
With today’s victory, the Colts registered their fourth consecutive win, while the Titans recorded their first defeat after a successful game against the Carolina Panthers last week. The Colts have masterfully taken advantage of teams that have been struggling and have managed to secure a No. 7 seed in the AFC playoffs.
With a resurgent Levis who is unafraid of challenging authority when he senses poor performance, will the Titans manage to turn around their 4-8 record in the season so far? In the upcoming week, they will face a formidable enemy – the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins are currently 9-3. Will they manage to beat the AFC East leaders?
