DeAndre Hopkins may have had only three catches on seven targets in Sunday’s loss to the Miami Dolphins, but the four other plays resulted in flags thrown for defensive pass interference. Three of them were accepted, which resulted in 42 yards worth of gains for the Cardinals.
“As long as the ball moves, that’s all I care about,” said Hopkins, who had three catches for 30 yards.
For that reason, the Arizona Cardinals wide receiver suggested the league should change the rules on pass interference where it would benefit the wide receiver.
“I do think that the rule should change,” Hopkins said, “and receivers should get counted yards for penalties.”
“I was very happy,” Hopkins said. “Even though we didn’t win. That’s probably the only thing I was mad about, but not my catches or completions. When a guy has to hold you when a ball is being thrown your way every time, I think that’s a sign of respect.”
On the season for the Cardinals, DeAndre Hopkins had had four total pass interference flags drawn and accepted, totaling 50 yards.
Hopkins has caught 60 balls for 734 yards and three touchdowns in eight games played this season.
