When New Orleans Saints safety Marcus Williams intercepted Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson, All-Pro wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins made an interception of his own.

Hopkins body-slammed Williams, lifting him into the air before depositing him on the ground. The tackle infuriated the Saints on Monday night and Hopkins was flagged for a personal foul for unnecessary roughness.

BRIAN T. SMITH: Coaching made the difference in Texans' letdown vs. Saints

"I didn't know I can't tackle like that," said Hopkins, who caught two touchdowns. "The ref said you can't tackle like that. I guess I'll play touch next time, tag."

Texans coach Bill O'Brien defended Hopkins on Tuesday.

'Look, he's just trying to get the guy down on the ground," O'Brien said. "I don't think he meant anything by it, but I guess if you hip toss, body slam a guy, they’re going to call that unnecessary roughness. So, that's what they called.”
