Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels threw a Hail Mary touchdown pass to beat the Chicago Bears in the final seconds of the game. It’s the team’s sixth win of the year.

The Commanders were down 15-12 with 25 seconds left in the fourth quarter when they got the ball back after a Bears go-ahead touchdown. Daniels got the Commanders in position to make one last play before time expired and threw a 52-yard touchdown pass to Noah Brown.

The Hail Mary TD was Daniels’ lone touchdown pass of the day and the only touchdown Washington scored as their first 12 points came from field goals. Washington has now won six of their last seven games.

A big reason for the Commanders’ success is the play of Daniels who is a favorite to win Offensive Rookie of the Year. Before Sunday’s game against the Bears, Daniels has completed 75.6 percent of his passes for 1,410 yards, six touchdowns and two interceptions this year. The LSU alum has also rushed for 372 yards and four touchdowns.

“I said it recently and I think this sums it up great – he has the humility and kind of the hunger of the young player,” Commanders head coach Dan Quinn told Jim Rome this past summer. “‘I’ve got a lot to prove, I’ve still got a lot to learn,’ but he also has the swagger and calmness of a veteran player. I think those 50-plus starts from ASU and LSU, that seems to come about. You see him on the field and in the huddle, that’s where he’s at his best.

“He worked really hard to learn the system. I would say, probably one advantage of starting something new, all the other players haven’t been in the system three, four, five years where they just knew it inside-out. There was a collective learning going on together. He was right there at the front of it.”
