Jayden Daniels was questionable with a rib cartilage injury going into the Commanders’ Week 8 matchup with the Chicago Bears.
Not only was the rookie quarterback active, he possibly delivered the play of the year in the fourth quarter.
Down 15-12 in the fourth quarter and two seconds left, Daniels scrambled to get away from the Bears defense and launched a 62-yard throw into the end zone. The ball was tipped right into the hands of a waiting Noah Brown to complete the Hail Mary.

“Nothing but God, man, Nothing but God,” Daniels told CBS Sports’ Tracy Wolfson after the game. “Without Him I don’t think I’d be playing this week. All glory to God. … We keep fighting. We got a great locker room, great brotherhood. Nobody else I’d rather go to war with.”
Daniels was injured during the first quarter of Washington’s Week 7 game against the Carolina Panthers. The No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft took some hard hits on the first drive and was seen grabbing at his ribs afterward.
Trainers worked on Daniels on the sideline and the QB was in obvious pain. He threw his helmet in frustration as he walked to the locker room after he tried to throw the football before he was ruled out.
Daniels was questionable all week, but he suited up and came through in a big way for the Commanders, who improved to 6-2 on the season.
