The Doink Heard 'Round the NFL

In a nail-biter that had Bucs fans reaching for their blood pressure meds, the Commanders pulled off a 23-20 victory with a field goal that decided to play pinball with the uprights.

Zane Gonzalez, apparently auditioning for a role in "The Hunger Games: NFL Edition," managed to thread the needle (or should we say, doink the post) with a 37-yard field goal that sent the Commanders to the next round and the Buccaneers to their therapists.

Rookie Reaper Strikes Again

Rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels channeled his inner Tom Brady (minus the avocado ice cream) and led the Commanders on a game-winning drive that'll haunt Bucs fans' dreams for years to come.

 With 268 yards, two touchdowns, and the audacity to lead his team in rushing, Daniels proved that sometimes the best way to win is to have absolutely no idea what you're doing.

Buccaneers' Playoff Dreams: Man Overboard!

The Bucs, led by the eternally hopeful Baker Mayfield, fought valiantly but ultimately fell short.

It's almost as if having a quarterback named after a profession that involves putting things in hot places isn't the best omen for staying cool under pressure. Mayfield's 185 yards and two touchdowns were about as useful as a screen door on a submarine when it mattered most.

What's Next?

While the Commanders sail on to face the Detroit Lions (in what promises to be a battle of "Who's Been More Historically Disappointing?"), the Buccaneers are left to ponder life's great questions, like "Why do we even have goalposts if they're just going to betray us like this?"

Remember, Bucs fans, there's always next year. And if that doesn't comfort you, just remember: at least you're not the Jets.
