Tampa Bay Buccaneers will host Washington Commanders in the Wild Card round of the NFL playoffs, marking a rematch of their first game of the season.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will face the Washington Commanders in the first round of the NFL playoffs. This marks a poetic twist as it's the same team the Buccaneers played in Week 1 of the regular season. The Commanders clinched their spot as Tampa Bay's opponent after the Seattle Seahawks defeated the Los Angeles Rams. While the Buccaneers secured the No. 3 seed in the NFC, the Commanders earned the No. 6 seed. The Buccaneers dominated their first matchup against the Commanders , winning 37-20.
Baker Mayfield had a stellar performance with four touchdown passes and an 80% completion rate, while the Buccaneers defense held Jayden Daniels to under 200 passing yards. However, the Commanders have evolved significantly since then. They finished the season with an impressive 11-5 record and boast a top-five offense in the NFL. Jayden Daniels has emerged as a standout player, being a likely candidate for Offensive Rookie of the Year with 25 passing touchdowns and 6 rushing touchdowns. The playoffs game will be held at Raymond James Stadium, with the exact date and time yet to be determined
