NFL scores: Jayden Daniels' Hail Mary lifts Commanders over Bears in epic finish in Washington
One of the greatest finishes of the season went down in Washington
Updated
The marquee matchup of Week 8 ended with an absolutely epic play. Jayden Daniels connected with Noah Brown on a Hail Mary as time expired in Washington to give the Commanders an 18-15 win over the Bears. Take a look:

The incredible finish was made possible after the Bears took their first lead of the game in the final minute on a Roschon Johnson touchdown run. Chicago had been outplayed on the stat sheet for much of the game, but ran the ball well in the second half. D'Andre Swift rushed for 129 yards and a touchdown in the loss, but the Bears' passing game couldn't get going, as Caleb Williams completed just 10 of 24 passes for 131 yards.
Jayden Daniels wound up with 326 passing yards and that epic, game-winning touchdown pass just a week removed from a rib injury that knocked him out of a comfortable Commanders win over the Panthers in Week 7.
Those Panthers were in Denver in Week 8, where the Broncos came out with a 28-14 victory. In Las Vegas, the Chiefs remained unbeaten with a 27-20 win over the Raiders. Travis Kelce caught his first touchdown pass of the season and Patrick Mahomes became the fastest quarterback in NFL history to reach 30,000 passing yards (103 games).

D'Andre Swift scores the game's first TD in Washington
The 56-yard run got Chicago on the board, and even though the Commanders have been in control for most of the game, an inability to finish in the red zone has Chicago still in the game with a 12-7 score late in the 3rd quarter.

Halftime: Commanders 9, Bears 0
Washington has been inside the 10-yard-line three times and has just three field goals to show for it. Also, the Commanders out gained the Bears 267 to 90 in the first half and have been in complete control of the game on both sides of the ball, with their struggles in the low red zone being the only thing that's got Chicago still connected in this game.
