NEWNow you can listen to News articles!
The Arizona Cardinals may be completely out of the playoff race, but quarterback Jacoby Brissett and wide receiver Michael Wilson were still giving it their all in Week 16.
Brissett found Wilson running down the field in the first quarter against the Atlanta Falcons. Wilson tried to grab Falcons cornerback Cobee Bryant. The ball was thrown between both players and, somehow, Wilson fell with it.

The pass was initially ruled incomplete because it appeared the ball may have hit the ground at some point during the play. But a replay showed the ball was thrown several times, left Bryant and finally landed in Wilson’s hands for the touchdown.
NFL fans, and even Bryant, were stunned after his review.
