It was Daniels’ first playoff game of his career, and he appeared to be as cool and as poised as he’s been all season long. 

Washington hasn’t won a playoff game since the 2005 season. That game was also against the Buccaneers. Mark Brunell led Washington to a 17-10 win over Chris Simms and the Buccaneers. Clinton Portis had a rushing touchdown and the late Sean Taylor had a 51-yard fumble return for a touchdown.

It’s the Commanders’ first playoff appearance since 2020. They won the NFC East that season with a 7-9 record.
