DeAndre Hopkins finds his mother in the crowd
DeAndre Hopkins may not have led the Texans in receiving yards but he made some huge plays to get the Texans into position to win the game.
Hopkins would show off his hands and heavy ankles early as he extended out of bounds to snag a Deshaun Watson pass.

The Texans would go on to kick a field goal later in the drive.
Hopkins would find his own points later.

The Texans best pass catcher was aided by the return of his partner in crime Will Fuller. The deep threat of the speedy Fuller helped a ton in opening things up for Hopkins and forcing the occasional single coverage on Hopkins. Fuller would finish the day with 7 catches for 140 yards.

Hopkins again showed why he is one of the best in the NFL decimating the Colts secondary. Will Fuller's return helped a ton but Hopkins made the big key plays in a fantastic win over an AFC South foe.
