Washington Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels broke the internet by throwing a game-winning Hail Mary touchdown pass to Noah Brown against the Chicago Bears with a simple flick of the wrist.
The Commanders looked done for when Roschon Johnson scored a go-ahead rushing touchdown with 23 seconds remaining. Despite having no timeouts in his back pocket, that proved to be more than enough time for Jayden Daniels to play hero.
On the game’s final play, Daniels bought himself plenty of time by scrambling around and around and around before launching a last-second heave to the end zone. The ball took a lucky bounce into the waiting arms of Brown to complete the improbable miracle.
Let’s chalk this one down as an “internet breaker.”
