Trailing 31-0 in the third quarter, T.J. Yates found Hopkins for a 25-yard scoring pitch-and-catch. The ensuing Ka'imi Fairbairn extra point cut the deficit to 31-7 with 8:17 left in the quarter.
It was the 12th touchdown grab of the year for Hopkins, who held the Texans' franchise record for scoring receptions in a season with 11 in 2015. The touchdown was also his sixth of the season that went for 20 yards or more, which tied him with Corey Bradford for the franchise lead in that category.
Three plays earlier on the drive, he caught a 40-yard pass from Yates, and followed it up with a 5-yard reception.
