After a brief period of suspension, DeAndre Hopkins is back on the football field, making the game look as smooth and easy as possible. Playing in just his second game of the 2022-23 regular season, Hopkins pulled off one of the best catches seen in the current season. What’s more impressive? It never looked like there were any doubts on him not being able to make the play.
To those who missed the Minnesota Vikings vs Arizona Cardinals’ matchup – DeAndre Hopkins found himself in the slot of the opposition’s red zone with a chance to make the 14-3 game even close with a TouchDown. With safety Harrison Smith being handed the task of keeping Hopkins at bay, the latter always had other ideas of showcasing his true potential.
To simplify – Smith had great coverage, Hopkins just had better offensive, Kyler Murray showed trust in his #1 receiver and heaved towards him regardless of the danger. With the trust shown, DeAndre Hopkins did not shy away from pulling off a stunning one-handed catch. He reached out his left arm and snagged the ball out of the air and brought it to his chest, adding 6 crucial points in his team’s basket.
This isn’t the first time Kyler Murray and DeAndre Hopkins have combined for an absolute beast of a play. Moreover, the veteran wide receiver’s connection with his Quarterback – Murray has been fantastic.
To bring everyone on the same page, since DeAndre Hopkins was traded to Arizona from the Houston Texans (1,407 yards in 2020), and that’s already been seen this season in their short time together on the gridiron. Take a look at some of the reaction from fans-
That being said, although it was the Vikings who registered their 6th win of the 2022-23 season after this matchup. Still, Hopkins’ effort was applauded by fans, who can witness the Cardinals coming back to life, week after week.
