In Brief: Commanders win over Bears
LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — Jayden Daniels connected with Noah Brown on a 52-yard Hail Mary as time expired to give the Washington Commanders an 18-15 victory over the Chicago Bears on Sunday.
Daniels scrambled for several seconds before heaving the ball from the Commanders 35-yard line.
It was deflected about 3 yards short of the goal line and fell into the arms of Brown, who was standing alone in the end zone.
Chicago had taken its first lead with 23 seconds left in the game, going ahead 15-12 on a 1-yard TD run by Roschon Johnson after a pass-interference penalty on the Commanders.
WINSTON THROWS 3 TD PASSES
CLEVELAND (AP) — Jameis Winston threw a 38-yard touchdown pass — his third of the game — to Cedric Tillman with 59 seconds left as the Cleveland Browns beat Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens 29-24 to snap a five-game losing streak.
Making his first start in two years and replacing injured starter Deshaun Watson, Winston helped the Browns take down their AFC North rival.
But only after surviving a late comeback attempt by Jackson, who drove the Ravens to Cleveland’s 24 in the final seconds.
Jackson threw two incompletions into the end zone, the second to Zay Flowers as time expired.
Winston finished 27 of 41 for 334 yards in his first start since Sept. 25, 2022, for New Orleans.
OHTANI SET TO PLAY IN GAME 3
NEW YORK (AP) — Shohei Ohtani is set to play for the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 3 of the World Series at Yankee Stadium tonight despite a partially dislocated left shoulder, according to manager Dave Roberts.
Ohtani planned to take some swings at Yankee Stadium during the Dodgers’ workout on Sunday night.
Roberts said pain tolerance was the key factor.
Roberts says: “I just don’t see him not playing Game 3” and adds “if he feels good enough to go, then I see no reason why he wouldn’t be in there.”
After the Dodgers claimed a 2-0 Series lead, Ohtani did not travel with the team to New York in order to undergo imaging. He was on a separate flight.
