Commanders kicker Zane Gonzalez got his spotlight moment as he gave his team their first playoff win in over 20 years. Heisman winner Jayden Daniels led the Commanders to a thrilling win with 268 yards and two touchdown passes.

The Commanders pulled off their first playoff win in 20 years, and they hope to continue their run in the playoffs on the 18th when they play the Detroit Lions.
