The Washington Commanders, under the guidance of Dan Quinn and Jayden Daniels, last season had a lot of good moments, but perhaps none more so than what happened in Week 8 against the Chicago Bears.
Needing a field goal to tie the game late, Daniels and the Commanders moved into good field position, which set up a first-and-10 from Washington's 48-yard line with two seconds left. Daniels let fly and connected with Noah Brown on a 52-yard Hail Mary for a touchdown to win the game.
Now, we are going to get the second installment of Caleb Williams and Daniels in 2025 in a game that NFL.com's Kevin Patra has as a top-10 game of the season.
"Last year's iteration wasn't a pretty game, but it had the most memorable outcome with Jayden Daniels' ridiculous Hail Mary," Patra writes."It was a touchstone tilt for both squads. The Bears spiraled into the depths, losing 10 straight, firing their coach, and starting over again. The win helped catapult Washington to the postseason and eventually the NFC Championship Game. Caleb Williams v. Jayden Daniels 2.0 should be much more than a Hail Mary highlight."

The win sent the NFL world into a frenzy over the Commanders en route to a 12-5 regular season record and a maiden playoff berth for Jayden.
Now, with the Bears having Ben Johnson at the helm along with draftees Colston Loveland and Luther Burden III and what they hope will be an improved Williams, they will travel to face the Commanders, who added Deebo Samuel and Laremy Tunsil to the roster in free agency.
The Bears are expected to be better, and the Commanders are hoping a drop-off doesn't happen, so this clash has all the makings of a great contest.
Daniels vs. Williams 2.0 - let's just hope both teams are fully healthy when they meet to give this a proper top-10 billing.
