Chicago Bears fans are teeing off on wide receiver Keenan Allen because of his strange reaction to Jayden Daniels’ walk-off Hail Mary touchdown pass to Noah Brown.

Sunday marked the first showdown between Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels, the first two picks of the 2024 NFL Draft. Just when it looked like the Bears were about to pull up the upset, Daniels’ last-second heave to the end zone was caught by Brown to walk it off in jaw-dropping fashion.

A video of Williams’ heartbreaking and stunning reaction to the Hail Mary went viral. Obviously, one can understand why he was devastated to lose after orchestrating a go-ahead touchdown drive with only 23 seconds remaining:

But football fans on X/Twitter noticed that Allen had a totally bizarre reaction to Jayden Daniels’ game-winning play. For whatever reason, the Pro Bowl wideout was laughing on the sidelines while the Commanders celebrated:

 

Allen has gotten off to a slow start with the Bears, notching just 17 catches for 171 yards and two touchdowns in five games. The 32.2 yards he’s averaging per game mark the lowest of Allen’s career, well off his career average of 74.2.

As one of the users noted, maybe Allen is just all too used to heartbreaking losses. Don’t forget the Los Angeles Chargers’ legend was on a team that blew a 27-0 lead to the Jacksonville Jaguars in a 2023 Wild Card Round, which is a lot worse than what Jayden Daniels did last night.

Jayden Daniels Is In MVP Consideration

Daniels is already running away with Offensive Rookie of the Year honors. The real question is if he’ll manage to outlast the likes of Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson in the MVP race.

Daniels is having one of the best rookie seasons ever, with 1,736 yards, seven touchdowns and only two interceptions to go along with, 424 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns.

VIDEO: Tony Romo Had An Awful & Embarrassing Take On Commanders Superstar QB Jayden Daniels Seconds Before His Game-Winning Hail Mary TD vs. Bears

Tony Romo delivered quite the hot take on Jayden Daniels that didn’t exactly age well, seconds before the Washington Commanders’ rookie quarterback completed a game-winning Hail Mary touchdown against the Chicago Bears.

Jim Nantz and Tony Romo were on the call for the Commanders-Bears game at Northwest Stadium. This highly-anticipated affair marked the first showdown between Daniels and Caleb Williams, the first two picks of the 2024 NFL Draft.

Daniels’ status for Week 8 was up in the air because of a rib injury he suffered in Week 7 against the Carolina Panthers. Backup Marcus Mariota played most of that game, leading Washington to a 40-7 blowout victory.

Moments before Noah Brown answered Daniels’ Hail Mary heave, Tony Romo suggested that the Commanders bring in Mariota to attempt the pass, citing the rookie’s rib injury:

In Romo’s defense, nobody is making a big deal of his comment if the Bears actually played the Hail Mary right. They made the mistake of letting Brown get behind them to catch the deflection for the game-winning score, dropping them to 4-3 on the season;

Still, the many critics of Tony Romo aren’t going to let him live this one down any time soon.

Tony Romo & Jim Nantz Will Call Broncos vs. Ravens In Week 9

Today, CBS Sports shared its announcer team assignments for Week 9. Romo and Nantz will be on the call for the Denver Broncos’ Week 9 road game against the Baltimore Ravens in a game that carries giant postseason implications.

Weeks ago, CBS probably wanted them on the call for the Miami Dolphins-Buffalo Bills game in Highmark Stadium. But with the Dolphins falling to 2-5 on the year, this game carries much less excitement than a clash between the 5-3 Broncos and Ravens.

The Broncos and Ravens have both won five of their last six games following disappointing 0-2 starts. Vance Joseph’s defense vs. Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry promises to be a dandy, alright.
