The Kansas City Chiefs fought back from an early deficit to take a second-quarter lead over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on “Monday Night Football” in Week 9.

Hopkins, who joined Kansas City last month via trade, caught a touchdown pass from reigning Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes that helped swing momentum back in the Chiefs’ favor.

Before his six-point score, Hopkins made an impressive catch that got Kansas City’s offense into the red zone late in the second quarter.

Take a look at both of Hopkins’ outstanding efforts against Tampa Bay in these videos, which were posted to Twitter by the Chiefs’ official account:

 

 

For now, Kansas City is enjoying a three-point lead over the Buccaneers, but there remains plenty of time for Tampa Bay to mount a comeback.

Expect Hopkins to continue playing a crucial role in the Chiefs’ passing game as Kansas City attempts to keep its perfect season alive.
