The 2020 season was the Arizona Cardinals ' 101st in the National Football League , their 33rd in Arizona and their second under head coach Kliff Kingsbury . It was also the first full season since 1971 without the ownership of Bill Bidwill , who died during the 2019 season.
The team improved on their 5–10–1 record from the previous year ; however, the Cardinals went 2–5 after a 6–3 start, and missed the playoffs for a fifth consecutive season. The Cardinals finished tied with the Chicago Bears for the last Wild Card spot, but lost the tiebreaker based on record vs. common opponents.[ upper-alpha 1]

The play came at the end of a game in which the Cardinals rallied from a 23–9 deficit early in the third quarter, and from a 30–26 deficit after Bills quarterback Josh Allen threw a touchdown pass to wide receiver Stefon Diggs with less than 40 seconds left.
With the win, the Cardinals improved to 6–3. This was the first time a successful game-winning Hail Mary catch in the fourth quarter was made since Aaron Rodgers threw one in a 2015 game against the Detroit Lions .[ 7]
