Commanders Edge Bears in Final Moments

In a thrilling NFL matchup, the Washington Commanders defeated the Chicago Bears 18-15 with a last-second Hail Mary touchdown pass from rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, marking a significant moment in their budding rivalry as the top two picks from the 2024 NFL Draft. Bears quarterback Caleb Williams expressed frustration during the game, particularly with the defensive execution that allowed the final play to unfold, despite his own underwhelming performance. Williams, who had a slow start, completed only 4 of 13 passes in the first half, but led a scoring drive late in the game. The loss dropped the Bears to a 4-3 record, leaving them at the bottom of the NFC North, while the Commanders celebrated a dramatic victory that elated their fan base. Daniels' victory was particularly poignant given his recent rib injury, showcasing his resilience as he finished with 326 passing yards. Williams's emotional reaction to the loss highlighted the high stakes and pressures faced by rookie quarterbacks in the league.
