Here It Is: Watch DeAndre Hopkins Make the Catch of the Year on Kyler Murray’s Game-Winning Hail Mary

The only thing more jaw-dropping than the Texans’ trade of DeAndre Hopkins was the catch he just made to lead the Cardinals to a last-second victory against the Bulls.

Good luck finding a better catch than this:

And that’s taking nothing away from the throw from Kyler Murray. To evade the pass-rush, buy time, AND get that throw off is the stuff that builds a real case for MVP honors. We’ve still got a ways to go before we get there, but that unforgettable moment goes to the top of the résumé.

Heck, we can call it the Hail Murray! Put it on a t-shirt!

The win moves the Cardinals to 6-3. And with that, puts a notable dent in the Bears’ playoff chances. But this post isn’t about that. Not right now. And not when that play continues to blow my mind as it plays on loop in my head.
