The Kansas City Chiefs remained undefeated after an overtime thriller of a victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday Night Football.
New wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins stole the show with eight receptions for 86 yards and two touchdowns.
After the game, he was tabbed as the player ESPN wanted to speak to.
“Honestly, words can’t describe [this night],” Hopkins told Rutledge and the ESPN broadcast. “Been patient. This is a dream come true to get my first win at a stadium like this, on a team like this. Just gotta keep building momentum.”
In the midst of him speaking about his opportunity to play for the Chiefs, DeAndre Hopkins looked like a man who was about to shed tears.
