The Washington Commanders stunned the Chicago Bears, 18-15, on Sunday after Daniels lofted a 52-yard Hail Mary that sent the stadium into a pandemonium. The Commanders’ sideline rushed to midfield, the crowd roared, and Daniels, in obvious discomfort after taking several hits to his already injured rib, suddenly appeared painless as he screamed and flexed in celebration.
Daniels finished 21 for 38 (55.3 percent) for 326 yards, one touchdown and a 92.7 passer rating. He also had 52 rushing yards on eight attempts, each time leaving the crowd eerily quiet as it waited to see if he would slide or quickly get down to avoid a big hit.
