Buccaneers Wild Card Top Performers vs. Washington Commanders
The game of inches can be brutal and unforgiving, and the Buccaneers experienced that in full force Sunday night.
A botched handoff, a mistimed snap, and a unfortuitous doink served as the hallmarks of a frustrating loss as the Washington Commanders claimed their first playoff win in 19 years with a last-second 23-20 victory over the Bucs.
The primetime woes continued under Todd Bowles, who falls to 3-8 in such contests and drops to 1-3 in the postseason. His defense, while feisty, simply could not muster the stops necessary to keep the wily Commanders and rookie sensation Jayden Daniels off the scoreboard when they needed it.
