Listen to the television and radio calls of Jayden Daniels' Hail Mary vs. Bears
The Washington Commanders needed a miracle to beat the Chicago Bears when they started their final possession with 23 seconds left to play in the Week 8 matchup. So it was fitting that the Commanders' "Hail Mary" prayer was answered – with zeroes on the clock – to take home the victory.
With Washington trailing 15-12 and still within its own territory in the final two seconds of the game, rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels had just one chance to take a 52-yard shot at the end zone. After taking the snap, Daniels scrambled around in the backfield for more than 12 seconds before launching a pass that traveled 65 yards in the air.
The ball was tipped near the goal line and bounced right into the hands of receiver Noah Brown for the game-winning touchdown.
The "Hail Mary" play gave the Commanders their sixth win of the season and Daniels yet another big moment in an already impressive rookie campaign.
