Commanders Win Playoff Game Against Buccaneers

The Washington Commanders secured their first playoff victory in 19 years with a thrilling 23-20 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, thanks to a last-second field goal by kicker Zane Gonzalez. Quarterback Jayden Daniels, in his playoff debut, showcased a stellar performance, completing 24 of 35 passes for 268 yards and two touchdowns, while also contributing to the game-winning drive. Former LSU teammates Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas Jr. were in attendance to support Daniels, celebrating his achievement as the only one of their trio still in the postseason. This victory marks a significant turnaround for the Commanders, who had not won a playoff game since the 2005-06 season. Daniels' success drew comparisons to other quarterbacks like Justin Herbert, highlighting his poised performance amidst contrasting playoff struggles from others. The Commanders will advance to face the top-seeded Detroit Lions in the divisional round next Saturday.
