The Detroit Lions are the No. 1 seed, but the Washington Commanders have all of the momentum and none of the pressure.

Jayden Daniels, meet Slinging Sammy Baugh. The Commanders’ dynamic rookie quarterback accomplished a feat in his playoff debut that no quarterback in the NFL had done since Baugh during the franchise’s first season in Washington in 1937.

Jayden Daniels thrived where few other rookie QBs do in the NFL playoffs, leading the Commanders to a last-minute win over the Buccaneers.

Welcome to the NFL playoffs. I'm not the biggest fan of the expanded playoff structure, but I think this wild-card slate will be fun. I'm glad Bo Nix and the Denver Broncos will get a shot at the Buffalo Bills,

Daniels, the dual-threat dynamo behind the Washington Commanders ’ rapid turnaround, and Nix, whose steady playmaking turned the Denver Broncos into one of the league’s biggest surprises, are only the fourth pair of rookie quarterbacks to make the playoffs in the same season after serving as full-time starters.

Both Jayden Daniels and Baker Mayfield are trying to extend their fantastic seasons on the field where they began their 2024 campaigns.

Can Houston’s offensive line protect C.J. Stroud? Can the Rams slow down Saquon Barkey? Can the Commanders stop Jared Goff & Co.?

Making the best case for how each Super Bowl underdog could upset the favorites with the divisional round set.
