How a 'backyard football' approach has sparked connection between Titans' Levis, Hopkins

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee Titans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins had just gotten into his stance as rookie quarterback Will Levis yelled out the cadence. Hopkins executed a stutter step release at the snap and sprinted past an Indianapolis Colts defensive back.

Levis saw his guy win on the outside and launched a pass to Hopkins, but it sailed out of bounds over his head. Hopkins demonstratively motioned to Levis where he felt the pass should have gone. Levis barked back as he jogged off the field as third down turned to fourth and they were forced to punt.
