00:00Sunday Night Football to conclude our tripleheader yesterday around the National Football League

00:06playoffs and DRS our first four games throughout wildcard weekend kind of stinkers at least they

00:12were lopsided not Sunday night in Tampa between the three seed and the champions of the NFC South

00:19the Buccaneers in the sixth seed led by a rookie quarterback who is going to run away with the

00:24offensive rookie of the year award Jaden Daniels and the commanders and as Daniels has often done

00:31this year when his Washington team needs it most he makes play after play after play in clutch

00:39moments which set up a 37-yard field goal try from the much-traveled Zane Gonzalez as time

00:46expires and oftentimes DRS if I tell you a team is trying to win a game with a field goal attempt

00:53and it hits the upright with a doink that's often a miserable thing in playoff football

01:00but not last night in Florida as it doinks off the right upright for the commanders

01:06and in Washington wins in walk-off fashion 23 to 20 outright as a three-point road underdog

01:14for the commander's first win as a franchise in the postseason since the 2005 campaign

01:21love what I saw last night and you know those quarterbacks that can make plays off schedule

01:26I'm talking like you know Josh Allen you got Lamar Jackson Jalen Hurts to a bit but when you take a

01:30look at Jaden Daniels there's times in that football game where you know exactly what they're

01:34trying to do and credit Cliff Kingsbury for buying into this as well when they're fourth downs when

01:38they're third and shorts just get the kid outside the pocket he's faster than everybody if he wants

01:42to make a play there's probably a chance he can do it all by himself but also a couple key points

01:47in this game where you're trusting your rookie quarterbacks on fourth down and it didn't work out

01:51but you still kept going for it and staying aggressive that's what I love to see you're

01:54talking about Jaden Daniels who again is a rookie in his first career playoff game on the road

01:58trusting him to throw 35 times in that game and also had 13 carries I like what I see out of that

02:04offense Terry McQuarrie with a nice catch early on a dime pass by Jaden Daniels really setting the

02:09tone for this one the Washington commanders not a great defense by any stretch but Dan Quinn is a

02:14great defensive coordinator getting the most out of those guys heck even Marshawn Lattimore coming

02:18back wasn't all that good and it still didn't matter in that game the op was the key and also

02:23opportunistics by forcing a major turnover late in that football game and holding on by driving

02:28down the field and kicking that game winning field goal they're gonna have a really tall task in

02:31Detroit but this team is just learning how to win and also keep in mind it wasn't as if you watch

02:36that regular season like hey man they blew up bad teams they lost the good teams you're seeing them

02:40in tight game situations late repeatedly and they're coming out on top more likely than not

02:45that's a great sign here specifically for playoff football and it played out that way last night
