The Washington Commanders pulled off the game of the year so far to defeat the Chicago Bears in thrilling fashion on Sunday night.
Desperate for the end zone, Commander quarterback Jayden Daniels, down by three points with no time left on the clock, watched as his Hail Mary sailed toward the end zone.
But, what appeared to be a ball too short to touch for the game-winner, turned out to be a touchdown that bounced off a crowd of Commanders and Bears near the goal line.

One after them? Commanders receiver Noah Brown got the tip drill, and Washington won the game, 15-12, in a dramatic performance.
Brown was mobbed by his teammates, while the Commanders on the sideline ran onto the field in shock and shock, including head coach Dan Quinn.

Meanwhile, the Bears, led by Caleb Williams, couldn't believe it when they left the field shaking their heads.
The matchup wasn't the highest-scoring matchup as the scoreboard read, but it was a highly anticipated matchup between this year's No. 1 and No. 2 picks in Williams and Daniels, respectively.
The first half was poor for either offense, as there were no touchdowns at all, although Washington managed to kick three field goals to go into halftime with a 9-0 lead.

They ended up making it 12-0 as Williams didn't get anything due to anger. But they were finally able to end their scoring drought this time thanks to D'Andre Swift, who threw a 56-yard touchdown to make it 12-7 after Cairo Santos' extra point.
In the fourth quarter, Chicago found itself down by five points when Williams orchestrated a 62-yard touchdown drive, which included a 10-play, one-yard punt into the end zone by Roschon Johnson, and a two-point pass to Cole Kmet. gave Chicago the three points they were looking for with 23 seconds left on the clock.
But a perfect prayer from Daniels' arm from Washington's 48-yard line got a proper deflection and a play no one will forget from Week 8 made the Commanders 6-2 on the year, while the Bears fell to 4-3.
In the box score, Daniels had 326 yards passing on 21-of-38, while rushing for 52 yards on eight carries. Terry McLaurin needed just five catches to accumulate 125 yards, and Zach Ertz had 77 yards on seven receptions.
