TAMPA --- The Washington Commanders picked a good time to have their longest drive of the season, and it culminated in quarterback Jayden Daniels' first career playoff touchdown pass.
Daniels' 10-yard pass to receiver Dyami Brown capped a 17-play, 92-yard drive that took nine minutes, eight seconds to give Washington a 7-3 lead over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It was Washington's longest drive of the season.
On the third-and-goal play, Brown was able to sneak behind the Tampa secondary thanks to the attention paid to receiver Terry McLaurin. He ran a crossing pattern to the left front side of the end zone -- drawing the attention of the safety and the corner to that side.
