Tampa: Wow, what a game! Jayden Daniels really stepped up for the Commanders. He ran for a crucial first down that set up Zane Gonzalez’s 37-yard field goal. And guess what? It went through just as time ran out! The final score was 23-20 against the Buccaneers, giving Washington their first playoff win in nearly 19 years.

Daniels played tough, even with a bandage under his eye after taking a hit. He’s now the third rookie quarterback in three years to win a playoff game. The Commanders, with a solid 13-5 record, are gearing up to face the top-seeded Detroit Lions next.

On the other side, Baker Mayfield and the Bucs had their chances but missed a few key opportunities. They couldn’t get that last yard when it mattered and had to settle for a field goal to tie it up. Daniels threw for 268 yards and two touchdowns, joining the ranks of rookie QBs like C.J. Stroud and Brock Purdy who’ve made playoff history recently.

It’s been a long wait for Washington fans since their last postseason win back in 2006. What a comeback!
