The Awaited Matchup Between Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels Ends with a Miracle Hail Mary.
October 28, 2024- The NFL community has been long awaiting this matchup between the two rookies, Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels. What was a hard-fought game and seemingly a win for the Bears ended in a miraculous Hail Mary. Commanders win 18-15.
The game was a tough defensive battle, with the only touchdowns coming in the 3rd and 4th quarters. Caleb Williams came out slow. Until around the end of the 3rd quarter, he had completed only 3 passes for 36 yards. The focal point of their offense revolved around running back Deandre Swift who ran for 129 yards and a 52-yard touchdown.
Daniels, on the other hand, looked great throughout the whole game. Completing 21 passes for 326 yards and a Hail Mary touchdown. He connected with star wide receiver, Terry Mclaurin 5 times for 125 yards.
Williams began to come alive in the later part of the game, leading the Bears to two potentially game-winning drives. One which was spoiled by a questionable play call where the Bears chose to hand the ball off to an offensive lineman, and the other came off of a Roschon Johnson touchdown.
With the final Roschon Johnson touchdown the Bears were leading 15-12 with 24 seconds left on the clock. The commanders have no timeouts. Then Daniels throws a Hail Mary deep to the endzone which is tipped into the hands of wide receiver Noah Brown.

As if the Hail Mary wasn’t bad enough. Bears safety, Tyrique Stevenson was caught taunting Commanders fans while the play had begun. He then tipped the ball into Noah Browns’ hands for the win.

Stevenson would post an apology on X later the same day stating, “To Chicago and teammates my apologies for lack of awareness and focus …. The game ain’t over until zeros hit the clock. Can’t take anything for granted. Notes taken, improvement will happen. #Beardown”
A heartbreaking loss for the Bears. Though Caleb Williams showed flashes of potential towards the end of the game. Commanders fans everywhere are feeling great today. Jayden Daniels looks like he is their quarterback of the future.
Bears fall to 4-3, Washington continues to climb upwards to 6-2.
