The Washington Commanders defeated the Chicago Bears 18-15 in miraculous fashion.
Down by three points with time expiring, Jayden Daniels launched a pass toward the end zone that was tipped near the goal line and caught by Noah Brown for a 52-yard touchdown.
It marked the first go-ahead touchdown on a Hail Mary in the final 10 seconds since Week 10 in 2020. Daniels is the second rookie to throw a go-ahead Hail Mary in the 4th quarter/OT since ESPN began tracking the play type in 2006.
Chicago went up by three with 23 seconds left only for Washington to retake the lead four plays later. The Commanders score made it the first game this century where two teams scored a touchdown in the final 30 seconds of the 4th quarter.
“We keep fighting. We got a great locker room, a great brotherhood,” Daniels said. “Nobody else I’d rather go to war with.”
Washington’s Hail Mary shocked social media, led by Commanders’ fans Kevin Durant and Josh Hart.
