I didn't think the #Bills could have defended the Hail Mary touchdown yesterday any better. I was wrong.

#Bills are in standard "3rd and long" look. 11 seconds left. Still time for 2 plays, but not everywhere.
In the blue box is either too short to improve chances on a final play or too deep to get another play off. Tremaine Edmunds really has no reason to defend here.

Entirely too much attention is paid to Larry Fitzgerald underneath. You dont want to allow a 25 yard play to the sideline, but no need for a Neal/Edmunds double team here. A 12-15 yard play doesn't improve the Cards chances to win. Either Neal should be deep or Edmunds on the QB
Bet this is a standard Hopkins deep shot. It's good. Give AZ credit.
Other 3 WRs start right and all cross. Keep DBs from sagging deep on Hopkins.
Bills have Andy Isabella triple teamed, but he needs to be respected.
Buffalo's 6-5 defender ends up no where near throw or catch

Poyer doesn't get to Hopkins in time because he's going forward when pass is thrown to cover Isabella. Which he must do. Isabella is open at the 10. That's a high danger WR.
If Poyer is coasting sideways instead of reacting forward, he probably can help. Bad break for Bills.

Play becomes isolated to a 2 on 1 with White/Hyde v Hopkins.
Hopkins has an inch of height, 3 inches of vertical on both. He's also got gigantic 10 inch hands (Josh Allen is 10 1/8) and can settle under the ball for a straight up leap.
Cards will take this on a Hail Mary all day.

To me, Edmunds is big mistake here. His height should be an advantage in a jump ball spot and he's a solid pass rusher. The underneath receiver can't be ignored, but let Edmunds have a higher value target..
Hopkins is a freak, but he's not the only one in NFL.
#Bills will see Mike Williams, Fant, Claypool, Parker down the stretch. All could be dangerous if given the situation Hopkins got here.
