After skipping practice Friday in response to Houston Texans owner Bob McNair's controversial comments, DeAndre Hopkins exploded in a big way against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.

The star wideout absolutely torched the Seahawks' secondary throughout the contest, finishing with 224 yards on only eight catches with one touchdown.

Hopkins was a no-show at practice after learning of McNair's comments referring to players protesting during the anthem as "inmates running the prison."

It's the second-biggest game of Hopkins' career, falling just behind a 238-yard effort against the Titans in 2014.
