Kyler Murray sure is happy the Cardinals traded for superstar wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins.

Through seven games as teammates, Murray and Hopkins have connected for 73 receptions, 704 yards, and three scores.

Murray knows what kind of talent he has in Hopkins, and that knowledge was on full display Sunday night during the Cardinals' thrilling game against the Seahawks.

With the Cardinals trailing 10-0 in the first quarter, Murray recognized Hopkins in single coverage and sent a sky-high ball in his direction to the end zone. There was never a doubt that Hopkins would make the play.
