NFL Coach Will Show Team Bears' Defense on Jayden's Hail Mary to Avoid Same Mistakes

The Chicago Bears' loss to the Washington Commanders on a Hail Mary touchdown pass by rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels wasn't just one of the best highlights of the year, but it reportedly was also a teachable moment for the rest of the NFL.

During Tuesday's episode of Scoop City, The Athletic's Dianna Russini revealed that multiple coaches told her they planned on showing the Hail Mary play to their teams so they could avoid the same mistakes that the Bears made on defense.

"I was talking to some coaches this morning about what they saw from it, even yesterday after the game, just sort of the teachable moments, and I had one coach say, 'Oh, we are showing this in our team meeting on Monday. This is what not to do,'" Russini said around the 5:30 mark.

The Bears failed to box out Commanders wide receiver Noah Brown, who was alone in the end zone when he caught the ball after it was tipped up into the air for the game-winning touchdown.

Russini added that it's a common practice for coaches to use bad plays by other teams to reinforce their teachings to their own players.

"A lot of really good teams do that, where they collect all the bad plays around the league and they rip through them as a teaching mechanism to say, 'Hey! Reminder! We don't want to make this mistake,' or 'Hey! This is why we practice this, this is why we practice that.' So, it's definitely something that's gonna be used."
