Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas cheered for Jayden Daniels as he led the Commanders to a thrilling playoff victory over the Buccaneers in Tampa.
Daniels, the Commanders’ quarterback, snagged his first playoff win against the Buccaneers. Nabers and Thomas, who played with him at LSU, were all smiles. They were there to support him, even though their own teams didn’t make the playoffs.
Daniels had a solid game, completing 24 of 35 passes for 268 yards and two touchdowns. He even rushed for 36 yards. Nabers couldn’t contain his excitement and shared his reaction on Instagram Live after the game-winning field goal.
The Commanders won 23-20, and it was a nail-biter! Nabers was decked out in diamond grills and shades, shouting, “Roll em 5’s out!” Fans were buzzing about his energy.
After the game, Daniels posted a pic of the trio, and Nabers re-shared it, calling it “Big den football.” It was a great moment for the former LSU teammates.
Daniels really shined in the final drives, completing all six of his passes to help secure the win. This was a huge deal for the Commanders, marking their first playoff victory since 2005-06.
Daniels expressed how much it meant to him and the fans, saying they’ve waited a long time for this moment. Next up, the Commanders will face the top-seeded Detroit Lions in the divisional round. What a game it’s going to be!
