In his first two games with Baltimore, the receiver, a five-time Pro Bowl selection, has stood out for his spectacular catches, scoring touchdowns of 23 and 29 yards.\n\nRavens quarterback Lamar Jackson was the first to mention the external criticism of Hopkins for being &#8220;finished&#8221; after the 41-17 victory over the Cleveland Browns.\n\n\u201cBut he\u2019s proving otherwise,\u201d Jackson said. \u201cThe guy has huge hands to catch the ball, with one hand, with two fingers, it really doesn\u2019t matter.\u201d\n\nIn the Week 1 loss against Buffalo, Hopkins recorded his fourth one-handed touchdown reception since 2017, tying for the most in the NFL during that period. In the win over the Browns, Hopkins caught a 23-yard reception from Jackson with very little separation in the end zone.\n\nWhen the Ravens play the Detroit Lions on Monday night, Hopkins will look to become the first Ravens player to achieve a touchdown reception in each of Baltimore&#8217;s first three games of the season.\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a4.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F0919%2Fr1548139_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><figcaption>El receptor de los Ravens, DeAndre Hopkins, celebra despu\u00e9s de anotar contra los Browns durante su encuentro de la Semana 2 en Baltimore.

With the Titans and Chiefs, Hopkins had career lows of 38.1 yards per reception and 10.9 yards per catch.\n\nWith the Ravens, Hopkins has made a big impact with little playing time. He was on the field for 18 plays in Week 1 and 10 plays in Week 2.\n\n\u201cWe\u2019re just going to keep honing it,\u201d Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken said. \u201cWith each day, I think his packages will continue to grow as we go. And we have to make that the case, because he\u2019s a tremendous football player. The more we can have him on the field, the better we\u2019ll be moving forward.\u201d","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OWINGS MILLS, Md. \u2013 Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry is unfazed by the criticism directed at wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins.
