10 most memorable Hail Marys in NFL history, including 'Madhouse in Maryland'

The Washington Commanders delivered one of the most exciting plays in sports on Sunday.

They got the ball back with 14 seconds left and no timeouts as they trailed 23-22.

Minnesota called a hook-and-lateral on the first play, bringing it to Cleveland's 46-yard
