Kyler Murray gleeful seeing DeAndre Hopkins in single coverage for TD

Things were heading south in a hurry for the Arizona Cardinals at the start of Sunday Night Football against the Seattle Seahawks.

Russell Wilson’s opening drive of the game was a breeze, taking Seattle 75 yards over six plays and 3:01 for a touchdown. After a three-and-out by Arizona’s offense, the Seahawks went 43 more yards for a field goal, and they were one Greg Olsen foot away from being up 14-0 after two offensive drives.

Arizona finally got some sort of response, and it took two critical third-down conversions, the second of which was a 35-yard strike from quarterback Kyler Murray to wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins.

Best of all, Murray gifted us a new meme template when the replay showed a huge smile on his face when he saw Hopkins down the field.
