Embedded into the NFL’s statistical fabric with unforgettable catches of every kind, DeAndre Hopkins had a special type in mind during game No. 3 in Kansas City’s colors: the kind that orchestrates game-winning drives. Just arriving, and yet already key in building the Chiefs’ then-undefeated streak, Hopkins metamorphoses into five-time Pro Bowler form on a must-have 3rd & 13, turning a corner route and modest catch-and-run into a clutch 31-yard reception. Authoring the sequence linked to a go-ahead, game-clinching field goal just plays later, Hopkins’ four-catch, 56-yard contribution helped Kansas City upstage the AFC West rival Denver Broncos for a 16-14 triumph on Nov. 10, 2024.
