LANDOVER, Md. — His voice cracking at times, Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson was stunned just like every other defender in the Bears’ locker room after being burned by Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels’ improbable 52-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Noah Brown on a Hail Mary — an excruciating last-play dagger in an 18-15 Bears loss Sunday at Northwest Stadium.
“Pissed off,” Johnson said. “Pissed off.”
But while many of his teammates struggled to explain what went wrong, Johnson didn’t need to see the film to know there was one egregious breakdown that allowed the play to succeed.
