Arizona Cardinals wideout DeAndre Hopkins made a game-altering mistake that led to a momentum-changing play for the New England Patriots on “Monday Night Football.”
It didn’t sit well with the talented receiver after Arizona’s 27-13 defeat.
“I try to be perfect so for me I let myself down today,” Hopkins told reporters in reference to his third-quarter fumble, per a team-provided transcript. “I let coach down, I let the guys down. I haven’t fumbled all year so it’s definitely a reminder of protecting the ball.”
With the game tied 13-all, Hopkins caught a shallow crosser from quarterback Colt McCoy and tried to avoid Patriots safety Kyle Dugger in hopes of gaining extra yards.
