I understand this there is a checkmate coming up and probably won’t notice in time

I think I kind of remember how it went in my head. After Rxe2 > Rxe2 > Qxe2 I saw I would be down a bishop but I thought I might make it up somehow with my queen after threatening checkmate on g7.
This was kind of a longshot I thought though and didn't seem too complicated so I'm surprised if Stockfish didn't catch on.
Stockfish thought this move was brilliant. Can anyone explain why? I had a plan with this move (which I have now forgotten), the opponent instead chose to blunder a queen, and neither scenario played out the way the engine thought it should (engine's best moves result in a draw).
