Watch the insane ending of Cowboys’ win over Commanders in Week 12

Watch all 27 minutes of the insane ending to the Dallas #Cowboys’ Week 12 win over the Washington #Commanders.

Fans of the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Commanders were on the edge of their seats while they viewed the incredibly long fourth quarter in Sunday’s NFC East matchup at Northwest Stadium.

The Commanders made a dramatic late-game comeback against the Cowboys when quarterback Jayden Daniels hit wide receiver Terry McLaurin for a long touchdown that pulled Washington within a point of Dallas.

But, when Commander’s kicker Austin Seibert missed his extra point attempt after McLaurin’s score, the Cowboys kept their one-point advantage.

Dallas took advantage of a botched onside kick in the final seconds of the game to extend their lead when Juanyeh Thomas made a slick recovery that led to a nifty return touchdown.

Take a look at the footage of the ending, which was posted on YouTube by the NFL after the game:

Expect both the Cowboys and Commanders to bring an extra edge to their next meeting on January 5 after this insane finish in Week 12.

 

Cowboys win after Commanders miss PAT following 86-yard touchdown pass

The Commanders almost had another miracle. A missed PAT ruined that.

The Washington Command needed a PAT to tie the game on Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys.

They had just gotten a miracle 86-yard touchdown pass from Jayden Daniels to Terry McLaurin.

Austin Seibert missed his second PAT of the game and the Cowboys escaped with a 34-26 victory.

The missed PAT left the game at 27-26 in favor of the Cowboys.

On the onside kick attempt, Juanyeh Thomas picked it up and returned it 43 yards for the touchdown.

The argument was made that Thomas should have fallen and not scored to avoid Washington getting the ball back with 14 seconds left.

He scored and Dallas led by eight.

The game saw two kick returns for TDs, two missed PATs, and a blocked punt an NFL first.

 

Jay-Z, Joe Gibbs take in Cowboys-Commanders NFC East clash

Big-name celebs were at the Dallas Cowboys-Washington Commanders game

The Kansas City Chiefs have Taylor Swift at home games. The Washington Commanders had Jay-Z in attendance on Sunday when they played the Dallas Cowboys.

Former Washington coach Joe Gibbs was also on hand.

Commanders, Bears radio calls of Hail Mary take different tones

Same play, two different calls. One for the Commanders, one for the Bears

It was a dream result for the Washington Commanders. A nightmare for the Chicago Bears.

Imagine trying to make the call of the play for the team’s radio station.

Give a listen to Bram Weinstein and London Fletcher on the Washington side.

And on the Chicago side…a far more somber tone.

Commanders’ Trent Scott flattens celebrating fan with chest bump

Don’t chest bump Trent Scott unless you want to head to the turf

There was joy for the Washington Commanders and their fans after Jayden Daniels’ Hail Mary landed in Noah Brown’s arms on Sunday. The Commanders had an 18-15 win over the Chicago Bears and the celebration was on.

One person decided to try and chest bump all 6-foot-5 and 320 pounds of Trent Scott.

Not a great idea. Watch as the person simply bumps off the lineman and heads to the turf.

Jayden Daniels’ Hail Mary to Noah Brown as time expires lifts Commanders over Bears

A Jayden Daniels Hail Mary lands in Noah Brown’s arms and the Commanders defeat the Bears

Jayden Daniels threw a 52-yard Hail Mary touchdown pass to Noah Brown as time expired to give the Washington Commanders an 18-15 victory over the Chicago Bears on Sunday.

The Commanders completed a pass to Terry McLaurin to give themselves a chance with six seconds left.

It set Daniels up at the Washington 48. The Bears had no pass rush and Daniels took his time before unloading for the end zone.

The pass was deflected to Brown, who was by himself and corraled the football with ease to win the game.

The Bears had not led for 59:37. They took the lead when Roschon Johnson scored on a one-yard run and a two-point conversion followed that gave the Bears a 15-12 lead.

The Bears’ final drive was kept alive by a pass interference penalty on a fourth-and-three when Keenan Allen was targeted with a throw by Caleb Williams.

The game matched the top two picks in the 2024 NFL draft. Williams threw for 36 yards in the first three quarters but 95 in the final quarter.

Daniels, playing through injured ribs, completed 21 passes for 326 yards.

The Bears made a bizarre call on an earlier threat. Williams tried to hand off the football to offensive lineman Doug Kramer Jr. on a fourth down play near the goal line.

Why an offensive lineman when the team had plenty of skill players is beyond comprehension.

Washington recovered and tried to run it the length of the field for a score but the recovering player Jer’Zhan Newton was ruled to be down by contact at the Chicago three.

The Commanders hope to start Jayden Daniels, the second overall choice. However, Daniels has a rib injury.

This could be a meeting of the last two Heisman winners

Jayden Daniels injury update

Jayden Daniels was injured in last week’s game with the Carolina Panthers. The Commanders rolled but Marcus Mariota had to come in to finish the rout.

“I want to play but it’s not my decision,” he said. “It feels better, but I’ve still got some time. I’ve still got some marks I need to hit so they feel comfortable putting me out there.”

How long has Jayden Daniels been out?

Jayden Daniels’ spectacular night leads Commanders over Bengals

Jayden Daniels and the Commanders stunned the Bengals

Jayden Daniels was brilliant as the Washington Commanders surprised the Cincinnati Bengals, 38-33, on Monday night.

Daniels was 21-of-23 for 254 yards and two touchdown passes. His completion percentage was an NFL record for a rookie. He also rushed for 39 yards and a touchdown.

Daniels’ first NFL TD pass was to 320-pound offensive tackle Trent Scott. After the game the quarterback said he would keep the ball, not allowing the lineman to have it, though it was his first TD reception.

The clinching score was a magnificent play. Daniels’ pass was good for 27 yards with Terry McLaurin making a brilliant grab.

McLaurin had four catches for 100 yards in the win.

Washington is 2-1; Cincinnati falls to a shocking 0-3.

The old tackle eligible worked for the Commanders

The Washington Commanders have a dilemma: Who keeps the football for Jayden Daniels’ first touchdown pass?

This normally would not be a question except the scoring pass went to a 6-foot-6, 320 pound offensive tackle, Trent Scott.

Yes, it was Scott’s first TD reception, too.

The tackle eligible play gave the Commanders a 28-13 lead in the third quarter at Cincinnati.

The Bengals were considerable favorites coming in but have not played like it.

 

Commanders name Jayden Daniels starting quarterback

Dan Quinn is handing the QB duties to Jayden Daniels

Dan Quinn made a decision: Jayden Daniels will be the Washington Commanders’ starting QB in 2024.

The Heisman winner out of LSU beat out journeymen March Mariota and Jeff Driskel. Undrafted free agent Sam Hartman is also on the roster.

“He naturally has a good feel of where to position the ball, whether it’s an in-breaking route, out-breaking route, a ball down the field,” wideout Terry McLaurin said. “A lot of the things, he just naturally has the ability to have a feel for the game, which is very unique for any quarterback, but let alone a rookie.”

At LSU last season, the second overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft, threw for 3,812 yards and 40 touchdowns. He also rushed for 1,134 yards and 10 scores.

The Commanders close the preseason against the New England Patriots. They open the regular season Sept. 8 at Tampa Bay.

“I like competing; I’m a competitor,” Daniels said. “Regardless of if I was announced the starter or not, you still gotta compete. You still can’t be content [with] your job, [be] comfortable and think it’s just your job and seal the deal. You gotta compete.”
