It looked like the game was going to end with a return from Josh Allen after hitting a Stefon Diggs for a 21 yard yardage with 34 seconds left. This gave the Bills a 30-26 lead.

It was too much time for Kyler Murray and DeAndre Hopkins.

With 11 seconds remaining, Murray had to run to avoid being sacked. He rolled to his left and, as he was off balance just inside the 50-yard line, called out a prayer towards the end zone. Hopkins, surrounded by three Bills, beat them all and grabbed the pass for a 43-yard winner with two seconds left.

The Cardinals took a knee on the two-point conversion to avoid any chance of Bills points, giving Arizona a spectacular 32-30 Game of the Year victory so far.

Murray went 22 of 32 for 245 yards with a touchdown and an interception. He ran for 61 yards and two touchdowns on 11 carries. That gives him 10 quick touchdowns this season, including at least one in each of five straight games.

Hopkins caught seven passes for 127 yards and the game winner. Kenyan Drake amassed 100 yards on 16 carries.

Allen did all he could to make a comeback with his two-minute heroes. It was not enough.

Allen went 32 of 49 for 284 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. He ran 38 yards on seven carries.

Diggs caught 10 passes for 93 yards and the score, and Cole Beasley had 11 receptions for 109 yards and a touchdown.
