Washington: The Commanders pulled off an exciting win against the Buccaneers, 23-20, in a wild-card playoff game. It was a nail-biter that had fans on the edge of their seats.

Jayden Daniels made a crucial run for a first down, setting up Zane Gonzalez for a 37-yard field goal that just squeaked in as time ran out. This victory marked the Commanders’ first playoff win in over 6,900 days, which is a big deal for the team.

Daniels, sporting a bandage under his eye after a tough hit, became the third rookie quarterback in three years to win a playoff game. He threw for 268 yards and two touchdowns, showing he’s got what it takes.

The Commanders, with a solid 13-5 record, are now gearing up to face the top-seeded Detroit Lions next Saturday. Meanwhile, the Buccaneers, who finished 10-8, missed some key chances and had a costly turnover in the fourth quarter. They struggled to get just one yard on two attempts from the Commanders’ 12-yard line, which ultimately cost them the game.

It’s been a long time since Washington celebrated a postseason win, the last one being back in 2006 against the same Buccaneers. What a comeback!
