The Washington Commanders pulled a victory out of the jaws of defeat in a game that they dominated for three quarters. Jayden Daniels got the start despite barely practicing this week due to a rib injury. Washington’s offense was efficient until it got to the redzone, and they were up 9-0 instead of the 21-0 they could have been. The game came down to the final play after Chicago came back to take the lead when Caleb Williams finally woke up. Jayden Daniels tossed the ball up for the Hail Mary and it was tipped to WR Noah Brown for the game-winning touchdown…just like they planned it.

Hollywood ending:
Some how, some way, the Washington Commanders are 6-2 on the season.
It took a Hail Mary, but who cares.

Finally, the ball bounced their way tonight.

Bobby Wagner
Never a doubt:
Commanders LB Bobby Wagner always believed.
He had no doubt Washington was going to win this game.
Bobby said, “just give us a chance. It wasn’t “oh no.” You gotta have that belief. If you don’t have that belief it’s not going to happen.” pic.twitter.com/5wiVNUruQR
