It was a strong outing for a player who was signed less than a week before Kansas City faced the Raiders at Allegiant Stadium.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought he did a great job,\u201d Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes said of Hopkins during his postgame press conference. \u201cObviously [on] 3rd down [he] hit a big catch early in the game, and then he had a couple other big plays. I missed him on the one corner route early but still got open, and as I looked back at the tablet there was a couple times where in man coverage he was just really working and winning. Even the touchdown to Trav [Travis Kelce] I threw, if you look back on his side, he\u2019s open, too, for a touchdown there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow that you see that, obviously I know the type of player he is, but you see that on the field, it shows that if they\u2019re going to play man coverage against him, he\u2019s going to get<br \/>\nopen, and I have to give him chances to go out there and make plays.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Patrick Mahomes: DeAndre Hopkins a Perfect Fit for Chiefs Offense<\/h2>\n<p>After the game, Mahomes praised Hopkins\u2019 ability to find the soft spots in zone coverage and exploit them, which is a key to success in Kansas City\u2019s passing offense.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, honestly, it\u2019s high-level stuff just because it was zone coverage. They kind of were in the right spot. He pulled up in the right window, stuff you see Trav do a lot, you see JuJu [Smith-Schuster] do a lot,\u201d Mahomes explained. \u201cI was able to throw the ball, and I\u2019ve kind of talked about it a little bit. He has good body language when he runs routes, so you can kind of tell what he\u2019s going to do before he does it. We\u2019d only practiced that play I think once, maybe twice, and for 3rd down in that situation, for him to run it and be in the right position, it shows that he\u2019s going to fit in perfectly in this offense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hopkins\u2019 next opportunity to play a full-time role on offense for the Chiefs is in Week 9 when the two-time defending Super Bowl champions host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday Night Football.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>X Users Reacted to Deandre Hopkins\u2019 Chiefs Debut<\/h2>\n<p>Users on X reacted to Hopkins\u2019 Chiefs debut in Week 8.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDeAndre Hopkins fitting into this offense is like finding that last puzzle piece\u2014in the couch, 3 weeks later,\u201d one person wrote. \u201cBut hey, better late than never, right?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cXavier Worthy blossoming. DeAndre Hopkins looking healthy. Travis Kelce still has the juice. Hollywood Brown pushing for a playoff comeback.
