Jayden Daniels connected with Noah Brown on a 52-yard Hail Mary as time expired to give the Commanders an 18-15 victory over the Bears on Sunday.
Daniels scrambled for several seconds before heaving the ball from the Commanders 35-yard line. It was deflected about 3 yards short of the goal line and fell into the arms of Brown, who was standing alone in the end zone.
It was the fifth go-ahead Hail Mary TD in the final 10 seconds since ESPN began tracking them in 2006. At 52 yards, it was the second longest of the bunch, behind the Chicago had taken its first lead with 23 seconds left in the game, going ahead 15-12 on a 1-yard TD run byafter a pass-interference penalty on the Commanders . The Bears had their winning streak snapped at three after falling behind 12-0 and giving up the Daniels-to-Brown play that sent players and fans in the stands into a frenzy.It was the first game since Nov. 13, 1977, where each team scored a go-ahead touchdown in the final 30 seconds.
The unlikely TD was Daniels' 21st completion on 38 attempts while playing through a rib injury that left his status uncertain until hours before kickoff. In the NFL's sixth matchup of rookie quarterbacks taken with the top two picks in the draft, Daniels threw for 326 yards and ran for 52., the Washington-area native who engineered a late 62-yard scoring drive after starting the game completing just four of his first 16 passes.
