The undefeated Kansas City Chiefs are heading home after a successful road trip with their eyes set on more next Monday night against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The latest wide receiver addition to the team, DeAndre Hopkins, will likely be a heavily targeted option after having his first full week of practice in Kansas City.
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid addressed reporters on Monday via Zoom, discussing Hopkins’ debut against the Las Vegas Raiders.
“I thought he (DeAndre Hopkins) looked good out there – did a nice job,” said Reid. “He did a nice job in the run game, did a nice job in the pass game, had the big third down catch right off the bench, and did well with that. He’s a good football player. Being able to fit in more will even be better, I think, as we go forward here. He was chomping at the bit on the sideline, wanting to play and, at the same time, knowing that he didn’t have all of it down, so there was patience there, but he was into the game, and I think you’ll be able to see more this next game.”
Hopkins seemed to be on the same page with Mahomes catching two passes on Sunday. He wasn’t on many plays as he continued to adjust to his new team, arriving only days before the game.
