Johnson wrote: "OMGGGG!! The Hail Mary pass from our quarterback Jayden Daniels to Noah Brown with no time on the clock ended up working for my Commanders!! An incredible 18-15 win!

Iā€™m so proud and thankful for Jayden Daniels stepping up to play after his rib injury and leading us to victory. There was a little magic in the air!!"

Johnson also added: "Tony Romo called it! He said the Commanders should go for a short pass first, not the Hail Mary, then the Hail Mary after and the Commanders executed perfectly!"
