The Cardiac Commanders have executed it once more.
Typically all it takes is the bounce of the soccer, or within the Washington Commanders’ case, the doink of the soccer.
The Commanders walked-off the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 23-20 with a 37-yard subject aim by kicker Zane Gonzalez, who doinked it in.
Gonzalez lined up for the game-winning kick, and appeared to have hooked it, earlier than it doinked off the suitable upright and inexplicably went in.
When a soccer doinks the upright, hardly ever does it bounce in.
Happily for the Commanders. it was their evening.
And similar to that, Washington’s 19-year postseason drought went up in smoke.
Jayden Daniels has his first playoff win as a rookie.
The star quarterback completed 24-35 for 268 yards and two touchdowns, with 36 yards on the bottom, together with speeding for the sport’s final first down, that helped setup the game-winning kick.
Daniels seemed something however a rookie in his first postseason begin, and the Commanders at the moment are on to the divisional spherical.
The ‘Cardiac Commanders’ moniker does not even start to explain the season they’ve had.
It’s the seventh time this yr that Washington has received on the ultimate snap.

It has been a magical season within the DMV.
It has been the yr of burgundy and gold in Landover, Maryland and on Sunday evening, it unfold all through Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.
Mockingly sufficient, in a full-circle second for the franchise, their final postseason victory got here in that stadium again in January of 2006.
And it’s now the sight of the place they ended their streak.
It’s a daybreak of a brand new period of soccer in Washington.
An period that has Daniels and a wave of burgundy and gold operating rampant throughout the league.
