The play — which, according to Murray, was the first Hail Mary he had ever attempted — was immediately written into Cardinals lore and vaulted Arizona to the top of the standings in a crowded NFC West.

The miraculous play brought joy to Cardinals fans across the country, but if anyone was more pleased with the final play than the Arizona faithful, it was likely the Nike creative team.

As fans pointed out on Twitter, Hopkins' astounding catch was made with the Jordan logo on his glove perfectly facing the camera. From there, the ad basically writes itself.

Another angle showed Hopkins' Jordan Brand gloves overpowering their Adidas counterparts, making the future ad that will come from this play an even easier sell.

The scene brings to mind Tiger Woods' iconic shot from the 2005 Masters when his chip on the par 3 No. 16 left his ball dangling on the edge of the hole with the Nike "swoosh" facing the camera before finally dropping in. It was as if the moment was constructed in a lab to be used in a commercial later.

With Hopkins' recent catch, don't be surprised if we see his gloves showing up in an ad that reminds us to "Just Do It" in the near future.
