Arizona Cardinals’ quarterback Kyler Murray connected with wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins on a last-second Hail Mary to stun the Buffalo Bills and win the game 32-30.
Down late and close to midfield, Murray scrambled to his left with a couple of seconds left in the game and heaved up a prayer. However, his prayers were already answered this offseason when the Cardinals traded for Hopkins, who is arguably the best wide receiver in the league.
Hopkins beat out three Bills defenders, who were all in perfect position, to snag the Hail Mary and score the game-winning touchdown.
Before the Cardinals’ final miracle drive, Bills quarterback Josh Allen led his team on a touchdown drive connecting with his favorite target, wide receiver Stefon Diggs, on a 21-yard score that gave Buffalo a 30-26 lead with just 34 seconds left to play.
Murray connected on three quick passes to get the Cardinals down to the Bills’ 43-yard line and enabling them to have a shot at the Hail Mary. The second-year quarterback finished with 245 yards passing, connecting on 22 of 32. His only touchdown pass of the day was the Hail Mary to Hopkins, who finished the game with seven catches for 127 yards and one miraculous touchdown grab.
