The Arizona Cardinals’ Week 2 win over the Las Vegas Raiders was anything but normal. You had the Cardinals overcoming a 20-point halftime deficit, Byron Murphy nearly throwing the game-winning touchdown away before the goal line and a fan striking Kyler Murray during the celebration.
But amid all that mayhem, Murray’s ridiculous two-point conversion was arguably the signature play of his young career. It was also hilarious — just ask J.J. Watt.
With the Cardinals the featured team in this year’s Hard Knocks: In Season, NFL Films cameras were all around the Cardinals sideline for Sunday’s game. On Tuesday, the NFL shared video of Watt’s real-time reaction to Murray’s 20.8-second scramble. And honestly, his reaction was too relatable.

“That is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen,” a laughing Watt said after witnessing Murray run circles around a defense for nearly 21 seconds.
At that point, you almost knew the Cardinals were going to come back and steal that game. There was no way they were wasting that effort, and it clearly fired up the defense.
NFL fans also loved that video from Watt.
