Jayden Daniels’s Ridiculous Hail Mary Touchdown vs. Bears Had NFL Fans in Awe

The NFL might have been onto something flexing the Chicago Bears-Washington Commanders game to Sunday's late afternoon slate.

In a highly anticipated matchup in which Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels was questionable to play, Daniels uncorked an absolute moonshot of a Hail Mary to lead his team to a late 18-15 win over the Bears.

With the game on the line and the Commanders set up around the 50-yard line, Daniels evaded the Bears’ soft pass-rush and held onto the ball for several seconds before launching the ball down the field.

The ball fell near the end zone with a horde of Bears defenders desperately trying to swat it down. In a fortuitous turn of fate, the ball deflected off one defender and landed into Commanders wideout Noah Brown’s outreached hands for the miraculous 52-yard touchdown.

Amid concerns surrounding his rib injury, Daniels enjoyed a stellar outing Sunday, completing 21 of 38 passes for 326 yards and one passing touchdown—which, of course, happened to be the game-winning hail mary.
