In a dramatic Week 8 showdown, the Washington Commanders found themselves in dire straits against the Chicago Bears, starting their last drive with just 23 seconds on the clock. It was a fitting conclusion when their “Hail Mary” attempt was successful, sealing a win as time expired.

With only two seconds remaining and Washington down 15-12 while still stuck in their own half, rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels had one last opportunity for a 52-yard pass into the end zone. After receiving the snap, Daniels evaded defenders for over 12 seconds before throwing a remarkable 65-yard pass.

The ball deflected near the goal line, landing perfectly in the hands of receiver Noah Brown, resulting in a game-winning touchdown.

This thrilling “Hail Mary” play marked the Commanders’ sixth victory of the season and added another highlight to Daniels’ already impressive rookie season.
