The Buffalo Bills won, no redos, Arizona Cardinals.
If that was an option, the Cards would have certainly taken this mulligan.
Four years ago, Buffalo lost to Arizona on the final play to the same foe. It was dubbed the “Hail Murray” after Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray, who completed an improbable pass on the final play.
He nearly did it again, but he looked the wrong way.
Murray got the ball back trailing 34-28 with 1:56 to play and three timeouts. Arizona got into Buffalo’s half of the field.
It felt like another miracle could be brewing and this image shows how close it was:
That is Cardinals’ rookie Marvin Harrison Jr. He was not targeted on the final drive and Harrison should have been on this play.
Unfortunately for Arizona, Murray opted for a short pass to receiver Greg Dortch after taking a couple of seconds running around the pocket.
Fortunately for Buffalo, Murray did that instead of throwing it to Harrison because four plays later, the game was over and the Bills won 34-28.
That would have been some “Hail Murray 2.0” outcome, but it was not.
