Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins is back making ridiculous catches on Sundays. Playing in his second game of the season after serving a six-game PED suspension, Hopkins found himself in the slot in the Minnesota Vikings’ red zone with a chance to make the 14-3 game a bit closer with a touchdown. Vikings safety Harrison Smith had the task of guarding Hopkins one-on-one, and while he had great coverage, Hopkins had better offense.  Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray trusted his top receiver and threw a ball where only Hopkins could make a play on it.

A dozen panicked top Democratic strategists and party leaders acknowledged to CNN that the party…
