DeAndre Hopkins has still got it.

On Sunday night during his debut for the Baltimore Ravens, Hopkins showed that he still has incredible hands with a stunning one-handed touchdown catch.

Baltimore was leading the Bills 27-19 with 1:09 left in the third quarter and faced second-and-7 at Buffalo's 29-yard line. Quarterback Lamar Jackson dropped back and lofted a ball toward Hopkins near the end zone. Hopkins reached up for the ball with his right hand and snatched it out of the air between two Bills defenders. It was a brilliant catch.

That was Hopkins's first catch in a Ravens uniform, and he made it memorable. After the extra point, the Ravens moved their lead to 34-19.

That was Jackson's second touchdown pass of the night, and he's added a touchdown run. So far, he's outdueling reigning MVP Josh Allen.

Fans immediately weighed in on the snag.

DeAndre Hopkins is NOT washed. You can’t make a TD catch like that and be washed at the same time.
