The Cardinals' decision after DeAndre Hopkins' miracle TD created a horrible bad beat - For The Win

Remember in 2018 when Case Keenum and Stefon Diggs combined for the Minneapolis Miracle?

Let’s focus for a sec on what happened right after: the Vikings were up 29-24 with no time left on the clock, but they had to attempt a point after. They decided to take a knee on the attempt, which didn’t have an impact on the outcome.

But bettors who took the Vikings at -5.5 were FURIOUS. The Saints covered.

On Sunday, thanks to DeAndre Hopkins’ miraculous Hail Mary grab with a second left on the clock, the Arizona Cardinals were one extra point away from a push on a -3 bet against the Buffalo Bills or an out-of-nowhere cover -2.5.

But Cardinals coaches knew that if the Bills were able to return a Cards’ PAT attempt, it would tie the game. So they lined up for a two-point conversion and took a knee.

Bettors were furious:

The Cardinals 2-point kneeldown was a smart play…but Arizona was a 3-pt favorite today.

So, Arizona backers who thought they were gonna get a miraculous backdoor push, suffered a bad beat. pic.twitter.com/vC99Gn8j1a

I can't imagine I've ever offended anyone or done them wrong – but I'll apologize and join you in this attempt to appeal to the gambling gods' good nature. https://t.co/6t1OiO6xE5

What a bad beat for people who had the Cardinals -2.5. Taking a knee on the extra point is brutal. Gambling Twitter going nuts right now.

Cardinals not kicking the pat is the worst bad beat that’s ever happened to me. Only in the NFL

Oof. Sorry, Cards bettors.
