Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels prayed and was answered.
On Sunday night, Daniels' Hail Mary touchdown pass to Noah Brown gave the Commanders an 18-15 victory over the Chicago Bears. It was one of the most exciting passes of the season.

Daniels spoke with CBS' Tracy Wolfson about the play.
“Man, there is nothing but God. There is nothing but God,” Daniels said. “If it wasn't for him, I don't think I would have played this week. But to God be the glory.”
It was questionable whether Daniels would play in the Week 8 game. He injured his ribs in the team's win over the Carolina Panthers and sat out the rest of the game. R&R throughout the week prepared him for the Bears, and he performed well in key moments.

Daniels' pass ended up in the hands of Brown for the win.
“I was definitely excited,” he said after the game. “I was excited because it was like a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Not many people get to experience something like that. It was my first time.”
Daniels completed 21-of-38 for 326 passing yards and the game-winning touchdown pass.
“We're lucky to have '5' leading this team. What he can do is special,” Brown said. “I don’t want to play with any other quarterback.”
