Part 2/6:
With the score tied at halftime thanks to Baker Mayfield connecting with Mike Evans, the second half saw a series of critical errors by both teams. A crucial mistake by Mayfield put the Bucs in a precarious position, allowing the Commanders to take advantage, ultimately leading to a 20-17 lead in the fourth quarter thanks to a touchdown from Daniels to Scary Terry.
As time dwindled, the Bucs managed to tie the game with a field goal. However, the Commanders’ offense, under pressure, showcased resilience through Daniels’s leadership. With just seconds left, Zane Gonzalez kicked a 37-yard field goal for the win, sending the Commanders into the divisional round—a moment filled with pure jubilation as they secured a spot in the playoffs.
