Sundays game which pitted the Arizona Cardinals against Super Bowl LIV finalist San Francisco 49ers saw just how dangerous a Kyler Murray-DeAndre Hopkins connection can be. The Cardinals managed to pull off an upset via a close 24-20 win against the 49ers.<\/p>\n
The four-time Pro Bowl wideout bared Murrays impact on his own performance during their opening game:<\/p>\n
Kyler kept giving me the ball, kept feeding me, and we kept making plays . . . After what you guys saw today, the skys the limit on what this team can do, Hopkins said, via the teams website.<\/p>\n
Upon his relocation to his new team, high expectations were immediately set on the 28-year old to bring the Cardinals back to relevance. Hopkins was able to make a roaring debut in his first game with the team especially against a contender like the 49ers. He set a career-high by catching 14 passes from quarterback Kyler Murray for 151 yards.<\/p>\n
The 2019 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year also balled out with 230 passing yards on 26 out of 40 attempted passes, along with a scored rushing touchdown. He also found other contributors in running backs Chase Edmonds and Kenyan Drake who both scored a touchdown of their own.<\/p>\n
Not long after his arrival in Arizona, Hopkins went on to sign a lucrative two-year, $54.5 million contract extension which ties him with the team through the 2024 season. The All-Pro wideout showed in their opening game that he was worth all the big bucks that the front office recently handed to him.<\/p>\n
Indeed, this is only the beginning of a promising partnership between Hopkins and Murray for the Cardinals moving forward.<\/p>\n
