Commanders vs. Buccaneers channel today: Start time, TV, live stream Sunday wild card game
The Washington Commanders and Tampa Bay Buccaneers began this NFL season playing against one another and one of them will end the others' season on wild-card weekend. The NFC South champions attempt to make the divisional round of the playoffs for the fourth time in five years when they host one of the league's pleasant surprises in an intriguing rematch that could produce a lot of points on NBC's "Sunday Night Football."
The Buccaneers (10-7) beat Washington, 37-20, in Week 1, but then had to rally to win six of their last seven games to close the regular season after a mid-year lull. Quarterback Baker Mayfield led an offense that ranked among the top five in yards and scoring. Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels was making his NFL debut when these teams met the first time, and he has since blossomed into an emerging star who propelled Washington (11-6) to its most wins since 1991.
The potential return of Washington cornerback Marshon Lattimore, a trade deadline pickup battling a hamstring injury, looms large with Buccaneers star Mike Evans lurking outside on the heels of joining Jerry Rice as the only NFL player to put together 11-straight 1,000-yard receiving seasons. The Commanders, making their first NFL postseason appearance since losing a 2020 wild-card game to the Bucs, are seeking their first playoff win since defeating Tampa Bay in the 2005 wild-card round.
