What Was The Play Of The Game in Cardinals vs. Texans?

It's tough to see Larry Fitzgerald get psyched up in a press conference. He's stoic, reserved and well-spoken.

But on the football field today, boy was he fired up at this Jaxon Shipley Touchdown.

Let's take a look at how this play turned out:

First, Matt Barkley gets flushed out of the pocket and he uses his legs to extend the play. He squares his shoulders and then launches the ball into the back of the endzone in a high up area.

This is called "high pointing" where a WR can catch the ball at the highest point of it's arc by extending their body outward, and Shipley does it beautifully and even hangs onto the ball after the big hit.
