Jaguars' Jalen Ramsey: No bad blood with Texans' DeAndre Hopkins

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- There is no bad blood between Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey and Houston Texans receiver DeAndre Hopkins.

"I respect his game," Ramsey said. "He knows that. He respects my game as well. You've got bring some fire. You've got to bring some rivalry in to it."

That certainly seems to be brewing. It started with the Texans' 24-21 victory on Nov. 14 at EverBank Field. Ramsey held Hopkins to just five catches for 48 yards on 13 targets, but Hopkins caught perhaps the game’s most critical pass against him: a 10-yarder to convert a third-and-5 just after the two-minute warning.
