"Daniels had some exceptional moments at Northwest Stadium. He turned on the style over the second half, dragging the Commanders back from another deficit into the lead. Then, disaster struck. Daniels fumbled the football for a second time in the game, and this time he didn't get it back. Chicago seized the initiative, driving far enough downfield for veteran kicker Jake Moody to drill the game-winning field goal as time expired."
"I just lost the ball - completely my fault. Didn't give Bill a chance, so it was my fault. I get paid to go out there and focus play in and play out and I had a lack of focus right there, and it cost us the game. I didn't play as I should, how I hold myself to, so I'll be better."
"This isn't exactly breaking news to fans. Anyone who was watching could see that Daniels was at fault, and it's worth noting that the LSU product had been warned about ball security earlier in the contest. Daniels dropped the football trying to escape the pocket, but it fell gratefully back into his grasp. He didn't get as lucky when the Commanders needed just one yard to ice the contest potentially, and Washington's fortunes are now hanging in the balance at 3-3."
Jayden Daniels, selected No. 2 overall in the 2024 NFL Draft, sparked a second-half comeback for the Washington Commanders but committed a costly late fumble. The turnover allowed the Chicago Bears to drive into field-goal range, where veteran kicker Jake Moody converted a game-winning kick as time expired. Daniels had earlier been warned about ball security and had previously recovered a fumble, but the second loss of the ball proved decisive. Daniels admitted full responsibility, cited a lapse in focus, vowed to improve, and left Washington’s record sitting at 3-3.
