Arizona Cardinals receiver DeAndre Hopkins’ touchdown catch with two seconds left in the game on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills not only got the Cardinals a win, but it also contributed to league honors.
Hopkins was named NFC Offensive Player of the Week, the league and team announced on Wednesday.
Hopkins had seven receptions for 127 yards and the game-winning 43-yards touchdown catch. It was Hopkins’ fourth career game-winning touchdown catch in the fourth quarter/OT and the first to come with under a minute left on the clock.
Hopkins is the third Cardinals offensive player of the week and fourth to earn player of the week honors this season. Quarterback Kyler Murray earned player of the week honors after Week 5 and Week 7. Safety Budda Baker earned defensive honors after Week 6.
It is the second time in Hopkins’ career he has earned the weekly honor and he is only the fourth Cardinals receiver to earn it.
Hopkins is second in the league in receiving yards and tied for second in receptions.
