It wasn’t a banner day for the Washington Commanders offense in Week 8 on Sunday, but former LSU quarterback and star rookie [autotag]Jayden Daniels[/autotag] made the play that mattered the most.
Trailing by three to the Chicago Bears in the final seconds, Daniels scrambled around in the pocket for a while on the last play of the game before unleashing a Hail Mary toward the end zone.
It was tipped up by a mob of both team’s players and landed in the arms of Noah Brown for a game-winning touchdown. Daniels ultimately finished the game 21 of 38 for 326 yards and a touchdown on the Hail Mary in the 18-15 win. He also added 52 yards on the ground.

It’s one of many special moments for Daniels, who is a strong Rookie of the Year candidate amid a fantastic debut campaign. He has 11 total touchdowns to two interceptions on the season and already has more than 400 yards on the ground.
