DeAndre Hopkins and Patrick Mahomes combined for great chemistry in the second game together, with Hopkins catching eight passes for 86 yards and two touchdowns as the Kansas City Chiefs bested the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 30-24. He shared a picture of Tom Brady and Randy Moss celebrating a big play with each other, stating how much he feels the connection that he has with Mahomes is similar to the connection Brady and Moss had with the New England Patriots. That would be an understatement to say that Hopkins and Mahomes have a long way to go.

Hopkins says his connection with Mahomes is similar to what Brady and Moss had

Veteran wideout DeAndre Hopkins was a doozy on Monday Night Football for the Kansas City Chiefs. On eight catches for 86 yards and two touchdowns, he added to the team’s undefeated record. And based on what he shows, with more time spent in Andy Reid’s system, Hopkins might just be ready to make significant contributions and help the Chiefs win that third consecutive Super Bowl in a row.

Hopkins is excited about his new partnership with Mahomes, as seen in a photo comparing their partnership to Tom Brady and Randy Moss. He is already feeling great about it. The Brady-to-Moss connection is a remarkable NFL example of a player who was once considered past his prime reaching new heights due to a change in scenery. The New England Patriots acquired Moss for cheap in 2007, believing he had his best days behind him. Moss set an NFL record for most receiving touchdowns in a season and was the top option in the best offense in league history.

Hopkins, acquired late, believes he can be a significant difference-maker for the Chiefs’ offense, hoping to end the story better than Brady and Moss, who never won a ring together. Chiefs fans would also argue that Moss and Brady never won a championship together, so Hopkins should be cautious. Hopkins demonstrated his potential as the Chiefs’ No. 1 receiver since Rashee Rice’s season-ending knee injury, with a custom touchdown celebration and impressive confidence.
