Jayden Daniels was having a great rookie season. And that was before one of the greatest Hail Mary passes in NFL history.

Daniels and the Washington Commanders pulled off a miracle Sunday. After falling behind 15-12 to the Chicago Bears with 23 seconds left, all that was left for Daniels was to heave one as far as he could on the final play and hope. The ball was tipped among a group of players and somehow Noah Brown was there in the end zone all alone to grab it for a 52-yard score and an 18-15 win.

Daniels might have a long, great career and never have another moment quite like that one.

Before that final pass, it looked like Caleb Williams would overcome a bad day to pull out a win for the Bears with a game-winning drive. But Daniels had one magic trick left.

Daniels didn’t have a great first half, but Williams’ start was much worse.

The Bears were shut out in the first half. They had a shot to score late in the first half, but Williams was under pressure, tried to scramble but got caught for a 15-yard sack. That knocked the Bears out of field-goal position and they punted. That’s how the first half went for the Bears. Williams was either under pressure on most downs or played like he was under pressure. He was rarely calm in the pocket. Williams completed only 3 of 8 passes for 33 yards in the first half. He rushed for 29 yards, but that was mostly when he was escaping the rush. The Bears didn’t break 100 yards of offense until well into the third quarter.

The Commanders were better in the first half but couldn’t get in the end zone. Washington led 9-0 at halftime on a trio of field goals. Daniels didn’t look like he was coming off a rib injury that had his status in question most of the week. He was 10 of 19 for 154 yards and added 31 yards rushing. Playing through a rib injury, Daniels ended up with 326…
