DeAndre Hopkins expressed his gratitude to the Tennessee Titans for trading him to a contender like the Kansas City Chiefs while speaking to reporters on Thursday, noting that he was excited to play "meaningful games."

It takes your game to a different level. I haven't played meaningful football in a couple years since we probably started 8-0 in Arizona. So it takes your game to a different level.
