Watch: Incredible slow-motion angle of Marco Wilson's flip into the end zone

The first of two pick-sixes for the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday Night Football led to an incredible highlight clip.

Andy Dalton, playing in his fourth-straight game for the New Orleans Saints with Jameis Winston on the sideline with an injury, found himself in big-time trouble in the final minutes of the first half on Thursday Night Football.

Dalton, the former franchise quarterback of the Cincinnati Bengals turned journeyman backup at 34 years old, found his team in a tie ballgame (14-14) with just under two minutes to go in the first half. With Arizona receiving the ball in the second half, the Saints decided to be aggressive and see what they could do before the break.

Unfortunately, on the second play of the drive, Dalton's pass was tipped and Arizona cornerback Marco Wilson picked it off and ran it around the corner for an easy pick-six. 

Not to be outdone, on the very next drive, Arizona linebacker Isaiah Simmons jumped in front of a pass and took his own interception 56-yards down the field for another Cardinals touchdown.

It was a complete meltdown from Dalton, but credit to the Cardinals for making two game-changing plays before the half.

And while both plays are deserving of their own highlight reels, it was the slow-motion highlight of Wilson's touchdown -- in which he superman dove and flipped into the end zone -- that caught the attention of the football-loving internet on Thursday night.

See for yourself.

That clip has everything.

It clearly shows off the incredible flip from Wilson, but juxtaposed with Dalton's frustration at the moment -- it may literally be the most perfect football highlight of all-time.
