Watch: Cardinals' DeAndre Hopkins makes ridiculous one-handed touchdown grab vs. Vikings

By Mike Santa Barbara  |  Last updated 10/30/22

Arizona Cardinals wideout DeAndre Hopkins has made an immediate impact upon his return to the field following a six-game suspension for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing drugs policy. 

After a 10-catch effort in his season debut a week ago, Hopkins had one heck of an encore Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. 

Hopkins finished with 12 catches for 159 yards to go along with a ridiculous one-handed touchdown catch in just his second contest of the 2022 season. 

With under a minute to go in the first half, Hopkins grabbed a high pass from quarterback Kyler Murray in the end zone despite being blanketed by Vikings' free safety Harrison Smith. 

Unfortunately for Hopkins and the Cardinals, they couldn't come away with a win on Sunday, as the Vikings held on for a 34-26 victory. 

Despite the loss, Hopkins' play since his return has to be an encouraging sign for the Cardinals' offense moving forward. 

In two games, the 30-year-old veteran has 22 receptions for 262 yards and a touchdown, averaging 12 yards per reception.
