Monday night, the Kansas City Chiefs improved to 8-0 in a tightly contested 30–24 overtime win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. DeAndre Hopkins had his coming out game, scoring his first and second touchdowns as a member of the Chiefs in his second contest with the team after being acquired in a trade with the Tennessee Titans.
Following his first score, Hopkins led an ensemble of his teammates emulating a dance from , the 2000 film starring Denzel Washington.
Hopkins explained the reasoning for pulling out the dance on X (formerly Twitter) the morning after the win, making sure there was no room to interpret the dance as a dig at his time with the Titans.
