With That Commanders Victory, The NFC South Runs Through Tampa Again

Going into the day, with the Buccaneers loss last Sunday night in Dallas, both Atlanta was in the driver's seat to win the NFC South. They just needed to win their final two games in Washington and against Carolina. Atlanta and Tampa Bay had the same record, but because the Falcons won both matchups against the Buccaneers, they held the tiebreaker, which was looking very important. 

But with this touchdown from Jayden Daniels to Zach Ertz, the Commanders beat the Falcons, moving Atlanta to 8-8, which is now behind Tampa Bay at 9-7.

The Buccaneers social account posted a virtual "thank you" to the Commanders.

I enjoyed being a Washington fan for the night, but I think I'll retire my burgundy and gold imaginary foam finger. It's all about the Bucs now and I'm just so happy we're in the driver's seat for the playoffs.
