WATCH: Jayden Daniels' Hail Mary to Noah Brown gives Commanders the win
Once the Chicago Bears scored their second touchdown with under 30 seconds remaining in the game to take a 13-12 lead, things looked bleak for the Washington Commanders. When the Bears converted on the two-point conversion, making it 15-12, the best Washington could hope for was a tie.
Jayden Daniels and the Commanders took over deep in their territory with 19 seconds remaining and only one timeout. The goal was to complete a few passes, get out of bounds and bring on kicker Austin Seibert to hopefully force overtime.
Daniels had other plans. After completing a pass to Terry McLaurin with two seconds remaining, the Commanders had one play left. The only option was a Hail Mary. They never work unless it's Aaron Rodgers. Right?
Under pressure, Daniels rolled to his right, then reversed field, stopped and unleashed the ball from the Washington 35-yard line to the opposite end zone. The pass fell just a bit short of the end zone as multiple players from both teams were huddled around the goal line. Someone tipped the pass, and it went to wide receiver Noah Brown, who was waiting by himself in the end zone.
Ballgame. Commanders win, 18-15.
Check it out.
Daniels, playing with injured ribs, passed for over 326 yards. Washington improved to 6-2 and stayed atop the NFC East.
What. A. Game.
