The Washington Commanders secured an improbable 18-15 victory over the Chicago Bears on Sunday thanks to Jayden Daniels’ Hail Mary on the final play of the game.
With two seconds left in the fourth quarter and the ball at the Commanders’ 48-yard line, Daniels danced around in the pocket before launching a deep pass toward the end zone. The ball was tipped up in the air before it was caught by Noah Brown for the game-ending score.
In a battle between the No. 1 overall pick and the No. 2 selection in the 2024 NFL draft, Daniels came out on top in a matchup with Bears signal-caller Caleb Williams.
Although he was listed as questionable heading into the game due to a rib injury, Daniels suited up and wrapped up another impressive performance. He finished 21-of-38 for 326 yards and a touchdown, adding another 52 yards on the ground.
Fans and athletes were amazed by the Hail Mary.
Williams experienced issues with accuracy throughout the contest, finishing 10-of-24 for just 131 yards without a touchdown or an interception. The Bears had an opportunity to take the lead earlier in the fourth quarter, but a run designed for backup offensive lineman Doug Kramer resulted in a fumble.
The Commanders improved to 6-2 following the last-second win, while the Bears fell to 4-3.
