The Commanders looked down and out in week 8 against the Chicago Bears this weekend, but Jayden Daniels pulled off a miracle play with no time left on the clock to secure the most unlikely of wins.
Jayden Daniels Stuns Chicago With Hail Mary
Sunday night football between the Commanders and Bears also saw the number one and two picks from this year’s NFL draft go head to head on the field
Despite being selected second in the draft, it was Jayden Daniels who came out of the game with a win in a game that was full of wild action right until the final play.
Washington looked in control for most of the game and they had secured a 12 point lead heading into the final minutes of the third quarter, but Chicago wouldn’t give up without a fight.
A De’Andre Swift touchdown just before the final quarter gave the Bears hope where they thought they had none and with just over two minutes left on the clock, they had possession of the ball down by just five points.
It looked like Caleb Williams was going to come out on top in the battle of rookie quarterbacks on Sunday as Roschon Johnson completed the comeback with a one yard rushing touchdown and a successful two point attempt putting Chicago up by three points.
Jayden Daniels got the ball back with just 25 seconds left on the clock and after a quick two passes in his own half, the quarterback was set up around his own 40-yard line.
With no time left on the clock there was nothing more or Daniels to do than just haul the ball into the end zone and after scrambling around his own 40-yard line, the 2nd pick from this year’s draft launched the ball downfield.
