These are some of the growing pains of being a rookie quarterback in the NFL.
Levis is learning what it means to be a good teammate and what it takes to be a team leader.
Millions of fans watch Levis and the Titans on any given Sunday.
Cameras and microphones seemingly cover every inch of the field, meaning that every interaction is captured.
Levis will keep this in mind for the future, knowing the fallout and reaction from his conversation with Hopkins.
While this interaction was the buzz of social media, it didn’t seem to impact the on-field relationship between these two players.
Hopkins finished the game with five receptions for 75 yards and a touchdown, a sign that he was still a big part of this offense.
With any luck, this situation is now water under the bridge, and both players can move forward with their eyes focused on their next opponent.
This will be especially important as the Titans take on the Miami Dolphins this week.
