If you haven’t watched, you should. 15 seconds left, Cards down 3, on the Packers’ 8 or 9 yard line. Green had man coverage which Murray saw immediately and threw him a pretty accurate pass he should have caught.

Except he wasn’t looking. All he was doing was blocking. The ball hit him, popped in the air and was picked off.

I’ve yet to hear an explanation as to what happened that led to such a monumental mixup. Might not even have been his fault, although there is no good reason for Arizona to call a play in that situation (no timeouts) that would have their tallest and best possession receiver blocking.

Yep.  Coach said miscommunication.

And wow yes....that looked really bad/sad.
