Jayden Daniels orchestrated another game-winning drive to set up Zane Gonzalez’s 37-yard field goal — which banked in off the upright — for a 23-20 win.

Washington took Daniels with the second pick in the 2024 draft, and he immediately validated the team’s decision with a Rookie of the Year-caliber season. Winning in the regular season is one thing. Controlling a game on the road in the postseason is another.

Maybe the Bucs had gone backward too many times to be very forward-thinking. Whatever the reason, Todd Bowles did not demonstrate a very adventurous spirit during Sunday’s NFC wild-card game when it came to going for it on fourth down.
