Kliff Kingsbury likely had a similar reaction to DeAndre Hopkins' Hail Mary touchdown as those watching the game from home.

The Arizona Cardinals head coach was still in shock after his team's improbable score while he spoke to reporters and gave full credit to his star wideout and quarterback Kyler Murray.

"(I'm) still kind of at a loss for words," Kingsbury said following the victory, according to 12 News' Chierstin Susel. "What a phenomenal play."

Hopkins appeared more relaxed than his head coach, admitting his game-winning score was simply a case of throw and catch.

"2+2 equals four," Hopkins said, according to team reporter Darren Urban. "Go downfield, throw it up.

"It was on three people. They were in position. It was just a better catch by I."

Arizona moves into first place in the NFC West with the victory, improving its record to 6-3. Hopkins finished the game with seven catches, 127 yards, and the touchdown.
