Commanders’ Jayden Daniels Won’t Relive the Hail Mary that Beat Bears a Year Ago
Last year’s Hail Mary ended Chicago’s 10-game losing streak and led to coaching changes while Washington leads the NFL in rushing yards per game, officials said.
- Monday's game pits the Washington Commanders against the Chicago Bears after Sam Cosmi's 21-day practice window opened last week.
- That Oct. 27, 2024 finish sent Chicago into a long losing stretch, setting the Bears on a path toward a 10-game losing streak that contributed to Matt Eberflus losing his job as Bears coach.
- Tyrique Stevenson admitted he was celebrating with fans at the snap and missed his box-out assignment on 85, but he has since recorded two pass breakups and an interception against Dallas.
- The Commanders arrive at 3-2 after alternating results all season, while Chicago Bears come off a bye with a run defense ranking 31st of 32.
- Daniels and Williams, both Heisman Trophy winners, renew their pro rivalry after entering the 2024 draft together, with Williams selected one spot ahead of Daniels.
