The clock ticked down to its final seconds. The Arizona Cardinals needed a touchdown to win. Kyler Murray, rolling left and throwing across his body, could do nothing but fling a half-field heave into triple-coverage.
And wouldn’t you know, his All-Pro receiver DeAndre Hopkins came down with the darn thing. Cardinals win, Twitter erupts accordingly.
Take a look at how Twitter reacted to one of the most improbable game-winning plays of the season, which kept Arizona locked into a tie for the NFC West’s top spot and gave Murray a boost to his MVP resume:
Shiiiiiiiiiiiiid….. Hop down there somewhere! @DeAndreHopkins
