The Washington Commanders have pulled off the play of the year thus far to beat the Chicago Bears in thrilling fashion on Sunday night. 

With a desperation heave to the end zone, Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels, down three points with no time left on the clock, watched as his Hail Mary sailed toward the end zone. 

But, what appeared to be a ball too short for a game-winning touchdown, turned into a tipped ball that went backwards from the crowd of Commanders and Bears near the goal line.

The only one behind them? Commanders receiver Noah Brown was the recipient of the tip drill, and Washington won the game, 15-12, on the incredible play. 

Brown was mobbed by his teammates, while the Commanders sideline sprinted onto the field in amazement and shock, including head coach Dan Quinn.

The first half wasn’t pretty for either offense, as there wasn’t a touchdown at all, though Washington was able to kick three field goals to go into halftime with a 9-0 lead.
