If there had been any doubt remaining about who is the star of the 2024 draft class, it was settled on Sunday night. With 2 seconds remaining, and the Commanders trailing 12-15, Jayden Daniels scrambled for over 12 seconds and then unleashed a 52 yard pass, which was tipped to Noah Brown in the end zone for the win.
With the miraculous completion, Daniels became the first Washington QB to throw for a game winning touchdown on the final play of regulation since at least 1994, when searchable records start on Pro Football Reference.
The last Washington QB to throw a game winner in the final 30 seconds of regulation was Kirk Cousins, who completed a 6 yard TD pass to Jordan Reed to even the score with the Buccaneers on 25 October 2015.
