DeAndre Hopkins’ Crazy Touchdown Catch Against Pittsburgh Is One Of The Best You’ll Ever See

DeAndre Hopkins and the Houston Texans have had a disappointing season, but the wideout gave everyone a spectacular Christmas gift on Monday.

Hopkins came down with what might be the catch of the year in a very fitting way for the Texans, who started slow and then became a team full of potential before losing rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson to a knee injury in practice. Now, with the season all but over and in the midst of a blowout loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, Hopkins delivered another brief glimmer of brilliance.

In the fourth quarter, Hopkins made a juggling one-handed catch where he somehow tapped both toes while straddling a defender and falling out of bounds.

Hopkins tried to one-hand it using his right arm at the highest point of the football. The ball bounced off his hand, but he somehow turned his body and then caught the ball only using his left hand, then getting both feet in while Joe Haden, who was defending on the play, was lying on the ground below him.

The catch was spectacular, and amazing enough that Watson tweeted about Hopkins while watching the game at home.

The score was Houston’s first points of the game, unfortunately, but maybe next season when Watson is back, those touchdowns will be a bit more important.
