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.

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.

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.
