A spectacular day for former Ohio State wide receivers in the NFL was capped off in spectacular fashion.
On a day where Marvin Harrison Jr., Terry McLaurin, Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson all topped 100 receiving yards, it was Noah Brown who made the biggest play of the day – and perhaps the entire year in the NFL – as he hauled in a 52-yard Hail Mary touchdown pass from Jayden Daniels to give the Washington Commanders an 18-15 win over the Chicago Bears.

Brown’s improbable touchdown catch was set up by a 13-yard catch one play earlier by McLaurin, who caught five passes for 125 yards on Sunday, including a 61-yard pass.
Brown caught three total passes in the game for 73 yards.
Among the other notable performances for former Ohio State wide receivers on Sunday in the NFL:
- Marvin Harrison Jr. caught six passes for 111 yards, including a 22-yard touchdown catch, in the Arizona Cardinals’ 28-27 win over the Miami Dolphins
