The Washington Commanders and Tampa Bay Buccaneers will clash in a thrilling NFC Wild Card playoff game.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving scored against the New Orleans Saints during the second half of an NFC Wild Card matchup between the Washington Commanders and Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, Oct. 13, 2024. \The Commanders are among the hottest teams in the NFC, having won five straight games to close the regular season, including a big 36-33 win over the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 16.
Quarterback Jayden Daniels has compiled 3,568 yards with 25 touchdowns and nine interceptions while also leading the team with his 891 rushing yards and 6.0 yards per carry. The rookie has breathed new life into a franchise that last won a playoff game back in 1991, which was also its last Super Bowl win. As a team, Washington thrives in the run game, ranking third in the NFL with its 154.1 yards per game. \The Bucs secured a playoff spot and clinched the NFC South Division with a Week 18 win over the New Orleans Saints (27-19). Tampa Bay also sprinted to the finish line with six victories over its final seven games to jump from a 4-6 team struggling to stay afloat to earning a home game in the Wild Card round. Among the Bucs’ 10 victories was a Week 1 triumph over the Commanders (37-20), as well as a win over No. 1 seed Detroit (20-16) in Week 2 and No. 2 Philadelphia (33-16) in Week 4. Tampa Bay is listed as a 3-point favorite on its home field, which was the scene of a Wild Card win over the Philadelphia Eagles last postseason. The Commanders and Buccaneers are set for an 8 p.m. ET kickoff on NBC.
