In a thrilling NFL matchup, the Washington Commanders staged an incredible comeback victory over the Chicago Bears.
Quarterback Jayden Daniels, who was questionable due to an injury, led the team to a 18-15 win with a remarkable Hail Mary pass.
As time expired, Daniels avoided the pass rush and launched the ball 65 yards downfield. Despite being tipped by a Bears defender, the ball landed in the hands of wide receiver Noah Brown, who was alone in the end zone.
“It felt like it was going in slow motion,” said Terry McLaurin, another wide receiver. “That ball fell right into Noah’s arms.”
Daniels, who held onto the ball for over 12 seconds before releasing it, was overjoyed. “That was my first time throwing a Hail Mary,” he said.
The Commanders had struggled to score throughout the game, but Daniels’ game-winning pass led to a wild celebration on the sideline.
“I started the game, I wanted to finish it,” Daniels said. “I couldn’t have ended it in a better way.”
The win improves the Commanders’ record to 6-2 and solidifies their position at the top of the NFC East.
