The Kansas City Chiefs may lose their matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX, but fans in Western Missouri are sure to have been pleased when they saw that veteran wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins scored a touchdown in the game’s fourth quarter.
Hopkins, who made his first Super Bowl appearance in the championship tilt, joined Kansas City via trade during the regular season after the Chiefs saw their depth at the wide receiver position affected by a series of injuries.
Though Hopkins’ score came far too late to alter the final score in a meaningful way, it helped the final score of Kansas City’s matchup against the Eagles.

It is unclear whether the Chiefs will elect to bring Hopkins back next season, but even if the veteran wideout’s time in Kansas City ends after Super Bowl LIX, his outstanding touchdown catch will forever be a part of the team’s history in the championship game.
