Football is a wonderful sport to watch, but one drawback of the game is that, because of helmets, it’s very hard to see the emotional reaction of players to big moments.
Which is what makes the below clip all the more special.
This clip is from the Arizona Cardinals OT-win over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night, and shows Cardinals QB Kyler Murray hitting his star wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins for a touchdown.
The play was wonderful, but what was even better was this camera angle, in which you can see Murray actually break into a huge smile and, if my eyes don’t deceive me, start chuckling as he realizes that Hopkins has single coverage.
The man laughs, mid-play! He then tosses a perfect ball to Hopkins for the touchdown. See it here:
Look at the smile on @K1's face when he sees @DeAndreHopkins…
This is awesome.#SEAvsAZ pic.twitter.com/E7aZ0rgYjw

I mean, how incredible is that? Who can have so much fun that they actually start giggling in the middle of an NFL play, with hundreds of pounds of defensive linemen coming at him, ready to rip him to the turf.
He pays no mind. He smiles, he giggles, he throws. Hopkins catches. Touchdown. All football should be this fun.
