They’re the only unbeaten team in the NFL at 9-0 and look like a legitimate threat to complete the three-peat.</p><p>The defending Super Bowl champions also managed to get better at the trade deadline on both sides of the ball. Most notably, they added another weapon for quarterback Patrick Mahomes, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/grading-chiefs-titans-deandre-hopkins-trade">bringing in DeAndre Hopkins</a> in a deal with the Tennessee Titans. While some believed D-Hop was washed, he’s proven his worth so far in a Chiefs uniform.</p><p>Mahomes and his new wideout have started to build some impressive chemistry and the signal-caller <a href="https://x.com/JFowlerESPN/status/1856816902234087697" rel="noopener">shed light</a> on why their connection has grown at such a rapid rate.</p><p>Via Jeremy Fowler:</p><p>“I think just kind of the wiggle that he has not only catch the ball and able to make stuff miss and get up to the field, but as well as running the routes. I mean whenever you get around a guy like that, you don’t see those things often. So to be able to see that at such a high level, I think it showcases to everybody that what type of player he is.”</p><p>In three games with KC, Hopkins has 14 catches for 171 yards and two touchdowns. His best showing so far came in a November 4 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, reeling in eight receptions for 86 yards and a pair of scores.</p><p>It’s no secret the Chiefs have a limited WR room this season due to injuries. While Travis Kelce is always going to be the main man for Mahomes, it’s nice to know he has another target like Hopkins who brings experience and immense talent to the table. It really does appear the best is still yet to come from the veteran in a Chiefs uniform.</p><p>Kansas City will be looking to improve to 10-0 on Sunday when they face Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Hopkins had a quiet year in Tennessee while managing a terrible quarterback situation, catching just 15 balls in six games.</p><p>As it turns out, playing with Patrick Mahomes is a great way to break out of a slump. After playing a very limited role in his debut with the Chiefs, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/chiefs-news-patrick-mahomes-deandre-hopkins-warning-game-buccaneers">Hopkins had a monster game</a> in a dramatic overtime win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night. Mahomes constantly found his new target, and Hopkins caught eight out of his nine targets for 86 yards and two touchdowns.</p><p>Former Cincinnati Bengals legend Chad Johnson knows a thing or two about an elite receiver. Johnson <a href="https://x.com/NightcapShow_/status/1853971879746523457" rel="noopener">expressed his optimism</a> about dropping Hopkins into the Chiefs offense on a recent episode of Nightcap.</p><p>“You’re trading for a player, if you put him in the right situation, he can give you what we’re used to seeing when he was considered a top three, top five player in the league,” Johnson said. “Now you put him in a situation in Kansas City, I guarantee you that’s his best game. And he’s only been there for three business days! If and when they do go, D-Hop is gonna play a big part in that. He’s gonna play a damn big part in that.”</p><h2><b>DeAndre Hopkins adds a new dimension to Chiefs offense</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/DHop-Mahomes.jpg"><figcaption>Denny Medley-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Chiefs offense, and specifically their passing game, looked like a completely different beast on Monday night with DeAndre Hopkins in full flow. While the unit has been an efficient, balanced one for the entire season, it has lacked explosiveness.</p><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/chiefs-news-deandre-hopkins-teases-tom-brady-randy-moss-duo-patrick-mahomes">Chiefs had no such problems on Monday night</a>, as they moved the ball up and down the field when they needed to in the second half. Hopkins made a huge catch down the field to set up a touchdown and was also a huge threat in the red zone, where he scored both of his touchdowns.</p><p>The Chiefs were using Hopkins in a similar role to the one that Rashee Rice was in before his season-ending knee injury, and it worked like a charm. He is a big-bodied weapon with elite hands that Mahomes can trust on the outside, which is something that the star quarterback hasn’t had since Rice went out.</p><p>Add Hopkins’ contributions to the slow emergence of Travis Kelce, and the Chiefs have a formula that can really work in the passing game. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/chiefs-news-travis-kelce-makes-old-man-history-vs-buccaneers">Kelce is starting to get more involved</a> in the offense and play better in recent weeks and caught 14 balls for 100 yards on Monday night.</p><p>With the Chiefs sitting at 8-0 and Hopkins just getting comfortable in Kansas City, they look like the clear team to beat in the AFC. They have addressed their biggest weakness, and look as unstoppable ever at the season’s halfway point.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Hopkins turned in a breakout performance in his second game with the franchise, and it appears that Patrick Mahomes has officially locked in his new WR1. Following Hopkins’ vintage performance on Monday Night Football in Week 9, the 32-year-old wideout believes that he and Mahomes <a href="https://x.com/DeAndreHopkins/status/1853886408467095934" rel="noopener">draw a close comparison</a> to a legendary duo.</p><p>Hopkins linked up with Mahomes eight times for 86 yards and two touchdowns in the Chiefs’ 30-24 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It was the performance that Kansas City yearned for out of their new offensive star <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/chiefs-news-deandre-hopkins-clarifies-titans-inspiration-td-celebration">since being traded from the Tennessee Titans</a> on October 24. It’s likely that the huge games will continue for Mahomes and Hopkins, as the Chiefs remain perfect on the season at 8-0.</p><p>For anyone that has watched the AFC conference for years, the growing chemistry mirrors what Brady and Moss had going for the New England Patriots. Similar to Hopkins, Moss was traded to the Patriots in 2007 when he was 30 years old, and he went on to form a sound connection with Brady that season.</p><h2><b>DeAndre Hopkins embraces Brady-Moss comparison with Patrick Mahomes</b></h2><p>Hopkins has been previously discussed in the same category as Moss when pundits talk about their sheer talent and skill set. While Moss, 6-foot-4, was the taller pass-catching weapon over his 14-year run in the NFL, Hopkins has displayed his prowess running routes against man coverage to a very similar degree. When Moss joined up with the Patriots, he provided Brady with a true No. 1 playmaker in the open field.</p><p>That appears to be exactly was Hopkins is doing in two games with the Chiefs. Before the trade, Mahomes struggled to get the passing attack moving consistently, and head coach Andy Reid was forced to lean on the run game and the strength of the defense. In 2007, the Patriots’ infamous 16-0 season ended with a 17-14 loss to the New York Giants in the Super Bowl.

One player who has helped a lot in recent weeks is <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/chiefs-news-deandre-hopkins-breaks-silence-trade">new Chiefs receiver DeAndre Hopkins</a>.

Ran and his crew are like family. Without them, I wouldn’t be here,” Hopkins posted on social media on Tuesday.</p><p>Hopkins pulled out a Remember the Titans celebration after scoring a touchdown against the Buccaneers. Some fans <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/chiefs-news-deandre-hopkins-takes-shots-at-titans-with-savage-td-celebration">immediately thought that he was taking a shot at Tennessee</a> with his celebration. It seems like that could not be further from the truth.</p><p>Hopkins finished the game with eight receptions for 86 yards and two touchdowns. It did not take Hopkins much time in Kansas City before he started looking like an excellent investment.</p><p>Next up for <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs/schedule/upcoming">Kansas City is a Week 10 matchup against Denver</a>.</p><h2><b>Patrick Mahomes makes bold DeAndre Hopkins career prediction with Chiefs</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/DeAndre-Hopkins.jpg"><figcaption>Denny Medley-Imagn</figcaption></figure><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/patrick-mahomes-issues-bold-deandre-hopkins-career-prediction-with-chiefs">Patrick Mahomes is a big believer in DeAndre Hopkins</a>.</p><p>ESPN’s Jeff Darlington asked Mahomes <a href="https://x.com/JeffDarlington/status/1853601601807954387" rel="noopener">if he can tell when a player is special</a>, and if he saw those same traits in Hopkins.

However, he is still a significant upgrade to the wide receiver depth chart <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/eli-manning-headstand-celebration-during-chiefs-ot-win">for the Chiefs</a>. As Mahomes mentioned, Hopkins is still a player he can trust to win one-on-one matchups, which is big, because that means he does not have to throw a perfect ball. Hopkins even caught a deep ball in double coverage on Monday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He caught eight passes for 86 yards, with two of them going for touchdowns in the 30-24 overtime win. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/chiefs-news-jason-kelce-surprises-andy-reid-lookalike-whiskers">The Chiefs moved</a> to 8-0 as a result.</p><h2><b>DeAndre Hopkins bolsters already strong Chiefs roster</b></h2><p>The Chiefs are the only undefeated team in the NFL, but their offense has sputtered and the team has snuck away with a fair amount of close wins. They are far from unbeatable, but they have a strong defense, and Hopkins coming in, especially with Rashee Rice out for the year, gives Mahomes and company time to get the unit operating at a high level by the time the postseason comes around.</p><p>Despite their flaws, the Chiefs are still in a great position to come away with the No. 1 seed in the AFC, giving them home field advantage in the playoffs. They have a lot of opportunities for wins down the stretch, but they will play three games against AFC playoff contenders in the Buffalo Bills, Houston Texans and Pittsburgh Steelers. Those three could conceivably make a run at the No. 1 seed, while the Chiefs do play the Los Angeles Chargers one more time as well, a team that figures to be in playoff contention.</p><p>It will be interesting to see how Mahomes’ connection with Hopkins continues to develop. The early returns have been positive.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
