‘Hill Mary’ gets Chiefs improbably into the end zone

If the play had a catchy name, the Chiefs didn’t let on.

“The name? Score,” wide receiver Tyreek Hill said.

And Hill did, in stunning fashion at the end of the first half on a play that will have a long shelf life on highlight reels in the Chiefs’ 28-17 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday.

Social media dubbed the play, “Hill Mary.”

To reset: The Chiefs had a final snap of the first half from their 44. Two seconds remained when quarterback Alex Smith got the ball.

A Hail Mary is usually the play call.
