The Bills fan who shoved the helmets of Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson and receiver DeAndre Hopkins after a third-quarter Baltimore touchdown on Sunday night won't be back at a game any time soon.
With the Ravens up 27-19 late in the third quarter, Lamar Jackson finally looked Hopkins’ way. He threw the 13th-year wide receiver a deep ball. Hopkins’ left arm was being pinned down by Bills cornerback and Baltimore native Christian Benford, so he stuck his right hand up, snagged the ball and fell to the turf for a 29-yard touchdown reception.
Hopkins has been known as the king of the contested catch during his fantastic NFL career. He’s on the downside of that career now at 33 years old, but he can still make impact plays for a Ravens offense that has so many other weapons that occupy attention.
Welcome to the party, DeAndre Hopkins. The veteran receiver made his first reception as a member of the Ravens and it was as memorable as ever, as Hopkins secured a one-handed touchdown catch deep down the right side. The score gave the Ravens a 34-19 lead over the Bills late in the third quarter.
WR DeAndre Hopkins uses one hand to bring in a 29-yard touchdown catch on his first target as a Raven.
Baltimore Ravens' DeAndre Hopkins and Derrick Henry star in the best plays from the first week of as the new NFL season.
The decision to start or sit a player can make or break a fantasy week. Despite his illustrious career, Hopkins' involvement with the Ravens remains uncertain. Last season, he was on the field for only 47.5% of the Kansas City Chiefs' snaps, marking a career low. With this in mind, it’s essential to approach his role in Baltimore with caution.
