Daniels spoke about the play with CBS's Tracy Wolfson.

“Nothing but God, man. Nothing but God,” Daniels said. “Without Him I don't think I'd be playing this week. But man, all glory to God.”

It was a matter of chance whether Daniels would take the field for the Week 8 game. He injured his ribs in the team's win over the Carolina Panthers and did not play the rest of the game. The R&R throughout the week helped him prepare for the Bears and he delivered in a key moment.

Daniels' pass fell into Brown's hands for the win.

“I was excited for sure,” he said after the game. “I'm excited because it's like a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Not many people get to experience things like that. That was my first time.”

Daniels was 21-for-38 with 326 passing yards and the game-winning touchdown pass.

“We're lucky to have the '5' leading this team – the things he can do are special,” Brown said. “I wouldn't want to play with any other quarterback.”
