DeAndre Hopkins returns with more energy, but without substance. D-Hop played his first match-up of the season after serving a six-game suspension for testing positive for a banned performance-enhancing substance. Arizona Cardinals look like a completely different side with his inclusion.

Fans were excited by his emphatic comeback that led the Cardinals to victory. They were super supportive and cheered their best player throughout the game. To encourage the star WR, one of them brought a sign, but it had a silly typo.

No better time to have DeAndre Hopkins back

Arizona Cardinals looked like a very average side this season and were going through an eight-match losing streak at home. Their loss in the last game against the Seahawks worsened their position.

Head coach Kliff Kingsbury did a great job of hiding his excitement while talking to the media. He even claimed that he would not play the wide receiver, expecting him to be the savior. But on Thursday, D-Hop made a significant impact and ended up being the main difference between the sides. With his presence, the team looks far more confident. The Cardinals’ offense flowed better with their best player back as they scored their season-best 42 points. The defense did a great job as well, with three interceptions in the first half, two of which were pick-sixes.
