DeAndre Hopkins has done a ton in the National Football League in his career, but what he did Sunday Night was one of the best. "DHop" caught his 84th career touchdown pass in the third quarter of the game for the Baltimore Ravens, and it put the team ahead of the Buffalo Bills 34-19 late in the third quarter.

This is the first season for Hopkins with the Ravens. The 33-year-old was a first-round draft pick by the Houston Texans back in 2013. The former Clemson Tigers product played ten games for the Kansas City Chiefs last season, catching five touchdowns.

 

 

His career-best season came in 2017 when he caught 13 touchdowns. The next season in 2018, was his highest receiving yards, with 1,572.
