Commanders clinch playoff spot as Jayden Daniels stars again - ESPN

LANDOVER, Md. — As Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels, still wearing his burgundy uniform, sat down at a table for his postgame news conference, he smiled and said something that shouldn't have surprised anyone after watching his playoff-clinching performance Sunday night.

Daniels converted three fourth downs, as well, one with his legs and two with his right arm — including a 7-yard scoring pass on fourth-and-2 in the first quarter.

All of those yards and touchdowns were needed Sunday evening. And because Daniels did what he did, Washington (11-5) has won 11 games for the first time since the 1991 season, which was the last time the franchise won the Super Bowl. The Commanders currently hold the No. 6 seed and can clinch that spot by winning at the Dallas Cowboys in the regular-season finale or if the Green Bay Packers lose at home to the Chicago Bears.

Washington last made the playoffs in 2020, and it hasn't won a postseason game since the 2005 campaign. But the Commanders will enter full of confidence thanks to Daniels, as well.
