GREATER LANDOVER, Md. — Who else is still recovering from Sunday's incredible Hail Mary victory for the Commanders? Us too. Let's relive the moment by showing you some of the best social media posts of the magical moment.
Hail Noah:
Daniels scrambled around for nearly 13 seconds and heaved the ball from the Washington 35-yard line with no time on the clock. The pass tipped off the hands of Zach Ertz short of the goal line and into the waiting arms of Noah Brown, who was standing alone in the end zone, for a 52-yard Hail Mary touchdown that gave the Commanders an improbable 18-15 victory on Sunday and sent players, coaches and fans into a frenzy.
First, let's just watch this amazing play in its entirety one more time...
