Commanders win in NFL playoff return, Bills and Eagles advance

The Washington Commanders won their first NFL playoff game since 2005 as a 37-yard field goal from Zane Gonzalez, which went in off the upright, earned them a 23-20 win at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the wild card round on Sunday.

Washington's rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels threw for 268 yards and two touchdowns as the Commanders became the first road team to win in this year's playoffs and set up a divisional round clash with the NFC's top seed the Detroit Lions.

The game sprang into life at the end of the second quarter when, with Washington 10-3 up, Tampa Bay quarterback Baker Mayfield charged 18-yards up the middle, riding a tough tackle as he kept the drive going.
