File-This Dec. 15, 2018, file photo shows Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins making a touchdown catch on a pass from quarterback Deshaun Watson, not pictured, during the first half of an NFL football game in East Rutherford, N.J.

But he’s not just close to outdoing his own numbers, he has a chance to pass Andre Johnson for two franchise receiving records with a big game on Sunday, Dec. 30, 2018. (AP Photo/Bill Kostroun, File)
