Chargers' Dustin Hopkins thanks Jesus after game-winning field goal: 'I got so much to be thankful for'

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Dustin Hopkins overcame an injury and delivered a game-winning field goal in overtime to lift the team over the Denver Broncos 19-16 on Monday night.

Hopkins appeared to suffer an injury to his kicking leg attempting an extra point but powered through whatever pain he was dealing with to nail all four of his attempted field goals, including the game-winning 39-yarder.

After the game, he talked to ESPN’s Lisa Salters.

"I just want to say thank you to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ," Hopkins said. "I got so much to be thankful for, apart from football, and so when something like this happens … I’m blessed either way but to be on the good side of that, feels a lot better."

Hopkins missed Los Angeles’ Week 5 game against the Cleveland Browns but definitely needed him in Monday’s win. Hopkins had 13 of the team’s 19 points in the victory.

"It was weird. I felt good pre-game and everything. But that first extra point I felt a pop, and it kinda went downhill from there," Hopkins said.

Hopkins joined the Chargers last season after spending more than six seasons with the Washington Commanders. He nailed 84.5% of his field goals during his career heading into the game against the Broncos.

Los Angeles moved to 4-2 with the win and Denver fell to 2-4.

Fresh off announcing her departure from the Democratic Party, Tulsi Gabbard will campaign for rising MAGA star Kari Lake, who is running for Arizona governor.

Lake’s campaign announced Gabbard, who used to be a representative from Hawaii, will appear for an Arizona Young Republican Engagement Forum in Chandler, Arizona, on Tuesday.

The event, which is scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m. local time, will also feature Blake Masters, GOP candidate for U.S. Senate, and Abe Hamadeh, candidate for Arizona attorney general.

Gabbard, who once was vice chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee and ran for president in 2020, announced last week she was leaving the Democratic Party, claiming it is now under the “control of an elitist cabal of warmongers.”
