In a thrilling game against the Chicago Bears, the Washington Commanders secured an improbable 18-15 victory with a 52-yard Hail Mary touchdown on Sunday. Rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, despite battling a rib injury, delivered a remarkable performance that left players, coaches, and fans in awe.
With just 19 seconds left on the clock and trailing by three points, Daniels orchestrated a series of plays that culminated in a game-winning touchdown pass to Noah Brown. The stadium erupted in celebration as Brown made the catch in the end zone, sealing the Commanders' sixth win of the season.
Daniels, who threw for 326 yards and ran for 52, showcased his talent and resilience throughout the game. His heroic play solidified his status as a leading candidate for the AP Offensive Rookie of the Year award.
The Commanders' victory was a testament to their never-say-die attitude and the team's ability to rally in the face of adversity. The game-winning Hail Mary will be remembered as a historic moment in Commanders' history.
Key Moments and Performances
Aside from Daniels' standout performance, kicker Austin Seibert played a crucial role by converting four field goals for Washington. Seibert's consistency has been a significant asset for the team since his acquisition earlier in the season.
