Nine weeks ago the Chicago Bears were on the verge of winning their fifth game.
They started their celebration a little early.
Bears defensive back Tyrique Stevenson was caught waving to the home crowd at FedEx Field while their Washington Commanders team was on the verge of losing, 15 to 12. All that was left for the home team was a Hail Mary pass from mid-field with little time on the game clock.
Jayden Daniels, the Commanders quarterback, had already taken the snap and began his desperation moves to avoid a sack and get off the 54-yard throw when Stevenson noticed the play had begun. In response, the Bears defender ran towards the scrum in front of the endzone and leaped up to tip a ball that was short into the endzone and the waiting hands of Noah Brown.
Touchdown Washington!
Commanders win, 18-15.
