The Tampa Bay Buccaneers couldn't beat the Washington Commanders at home, and as a result, their season is over.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers fought valiantly, but penalties and miscuses ended their season before they could advance.
Tampa Bay opened up proceedings with a field goal, putting it up 3-0 on Washington. The Commanders went for it on fourth down deep in Bucs territory and didn't convert, but the Buccaneers weren't able to punish them for it and punted it away at midfield. The Commanders were at midfield and driving when the first quarter ended.
The Commanders drove down inside the five to start the half, but they were forced to kick, moving up 13-10, but Tampa Bay would take the lead back after a one-yard dumpoff to Bucky Irving went for six. The Commanders set up for their next drive down 17-13, and they went on another backbreaking drive that extended to the end of the third quarter.
