Washington Commanders NFL All-Pro LB Bobby Wagner will play in the NFC Divisional Round against Detroit Lions after ankle injury.

Ben Johnson was once seen as a top candidate to become the Commanders' next head coach. His withdrawal from the search had a massive ripple effect.

The situation: With Tampa Bay leading 17-13 with 12 minutes to go, quarterback Baker Mayfield botched a handoff to receiver Jalen McMillan, which resulted in a loose ball that Wagner scooped up at the Bucs’ 13. Washington scored a touchdown four plays later and ended up winning the game on a doinked-in field goal as time expired.

The Washington Commanders executed the first upset of the 2024 NFL postseason, defeating the NFC South winning Tampa Bay Buccaneers 23-20 on a last-second field goal. Former Seattle Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner was outstanding in the win.

Daniels, an LSU product, sealed the historic win against the Buccaneers in the wild-card round by converting a 3rd-and-2 run for a first down with under a minute left in the game. The clutch drive set up Zane Gonzalez's game-winning " doink " field goal that sent the Bucs home.

The Detroit Lions host the Washington Commanders in the divisional round of the NFL playoffs roughly a year since a few coaching decisions shaped the future of each organization. The Commanders interviewed Dan Quinn for their head coaching vacancy the same day in January 2024 that Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson told them and other teams he would be staying with Detroit and hired Quinn later that week.

The Bears announced they have completed a head coach interview with Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores.
