Despite needing a miraculous deflection and 60-plus minutes of gameplay to find the end zone, Washington Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels is once again a hero. His Hail Mary, which conjured up memories of Kordell Stewart in terms of sheer arm strength, bounded into the waiting arms of Noah Brown as the plucky Commanders stunned the Chicago Bears and moved to 6-2 on the season.
Daniels finished with 326 yards through the air, added another 52 on the ground and took immaculate care of the football. Pretty impressive for someone who's playing status was in jeopardy in the hours before kickoff after suffering a rib injury. Outdueling Caleb Williams, who went one pick before him in the 2024 NFL draft, was another feather in Daniels' cap. And it's really beginning to feel like the sky is the limit and Washington can win right now with a player who has changed everything.
