The rookie unleashed an incredible deep ball in the closing seconds.
With his Commanders trailing the Chicago Bears 15–12 in the closing seconds and the ball at their own 48-yard line, Daniels took the snap and dropped back. He avoided the rush as the Bears pressured him, then unleashed the ball toward the goal line on a Hail Mary attempt. That prayer was answered.
The ball was tipped and fell right into receiver Noah Brown's hands. It was truly an unbelievable play, tipped by a Bears defender and Brown was in the perfect spot. The ball went nearly 70 yards in the air and wound up exactly where it needed to be. That's a killer for the Bears and rookie Caleb Williams, who authored a furious comeback from down 12–0 to leading 15–12 with 23 seconds remaining. They just couldn't hold the lead.Ryan Phillips is a senior writer on the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated.
