Jayden Daniels' mom Regina drops one-emoji reaction to QB's 52-yard Hail Mary throw vs. Bears

Jayden Daniels etched his name into Washington Commanders' folklore after throwing a Hail Mary pass to wide receiver Noah Brown against the Chicago Bears with the clock showing 0:00 in their Week 8 matchup.

With two rookie quarterbacks going up against one another, Caleb Williams looked to have shown the world why he was the first one picked.

He led a comeback touchdown drive and a two-point conversion to give the Bears a 15-12 lead with mere seconds remaining. Chicago thought they had the game won when Washington could not get into field-goal range, necessitating that Daniels attempt a Hail Mary pass.

And the second-overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft did just that. First, he evaded multiple tacklers in the backfield like a seasoned veteran would and set his feet to launch a deep throw.

As the football dropped just near the goal line, Noah Brown hung back in the end zone to catch any deflections. And that is just what happened in the scrum and the reception sealed an 18-15 victory.

NFL observers were left dumbfounded at what had happened as Commanders' coaches and personnel flooded onto the field with the Bears' players slumping to the turf in despondency and disgust.

Among all this brouhaha, it looked as if Daniels' mother, Regina Jackson, had the coolest head of them all. She posted on X/Twitter with a puzzled emoji to express herself succinctly.

Jayden Daniels knows who to thank for his Hail Mary vs. the Bears

While Regina Jackson watched her son throw for a Hail Mary touchdown pass for the Commanders against the Bears, according to Jayden Daniels it was a higher power that was guiding him.

Looking calm and collected in the post-game interview as pandemonium surrounded him, the Washington quarterback said that he owed everything to God, who had guided him through his entire journey and who he felt was guiding him now as well.

Thanking the divine intervention on the aptly-named play, the Commanders rookie also acknowledged that he dedicated his return from a rib injury last week to the power of God. He said:

"Nothing but God, man, Nothing but God. Without Him, I don't think I would be playing this week. All glory to God."

Washington fans might agree with him as they have every right to feel blessed watching the quarterback play for them week in and week out, especially after how he eked out a seemingly improbable victory in the dying moments today.
