Sometimes in life we ask our friends to cover up for us as a favor. Other times, if they're as fast as DeAndre Hopkins, they're one step ahead of us.
Kyler Murray had one interception Sunday, caught by Washington safety Landon Collins. Two days later, Hopkins caught the blame. Or, perhaps more accurately, the wide receiver requested it.
"I think the interception that he threw last week was definitely my fault," Hopkins said Tuesday. "I ran the wrong route, so the safety wouldn't have been there if it wasn't for me running the wrong route."
In his short time with the Cardinals, Hopkins has been quick to spread the love and shoulder the blame.
