Nice to see the Eagles spank Dallas last night. As the commentary team said "it doesn't matter who is at QB, this O-line gets the job done" (yeah, unless you are playing the Commanders, seemingly!). Pickens was Ok, but McKee did really well at stand-in.

Vikings again showed how you can completely dominate a game until the last few minutes then nearly blow it when you can't adapt to a no-huddle offense.

Washington should have put Atlanta away a bit earlier. Fantastic by Daniels though.

Also lovely to watch that game while chilling on the beach.

Bucs go to the post season and Evans ties Jerry Rice’s consecutive 1,000 yard seasons record

Bucs Commanders is going to be a great game, one of the more even matchups in the wildcard round I feel.

Tampa did take it earlier in the season but Washington and Daniel’s have improved a lot since then.

Added spice of Evan’s Lattimore too

Amazing defensive performance by Lions last night, especially considering injuries/absences. Thought it was going to be a shout out but lions really showed they’re a serious contender.

Big for Washington to miss Eagles in play offs. Gutted bengals didn’t squeak in, not great defensively but reckon they would’ve given most teams a better game than some that got ie Texans, Steelers etc

What a game! Worth staying up all night for.

Absolutely amazing game. Was a 12pm kick off here, luckily my manager wasn’t in so I strategically placed my phone near my laptop but hidden away so managed to watch it without getting caught.

Took all my strength not to jump up when that FG doinked in.

Will likely lose to the lions but the future is finally bright.

Lot of fuss being made about Lions's loss. But the Lions and us (Vikings) didn't really play many good teams in the regular season. AFC South and NFC west were our divisional games and they generally massively underperformed.
Vikings were a 7/8 win team with the bookies pre-season based on perceived strength of schedule.
Always wondered what would happen when a team could get past that Lions O line.
Been saying all season I didn't think the NFC was particularly good - quite a few NFC teams building towards being something good but a year or two away.

Amazing set up in the NFC Championship Game next week.

Don't think anyone should underestimate the Commanders, sixth seed but a stronger in season record than most. This team demands your respect!

Mclaurin has always been immense but the team are now playing up to his standards now, hell of a game coming up in the NFC Championship Game.

I wonder if Hurts will be fully fit.

The Commanders beat the Eagles last time out, but Hurts wasn't QB that day, due to the concussion protocol.

Commanders have gone much much further than anybody could expect so just being here is magic. A loss would be no shame.

Everything is falling in place at the right time. Could never bet against Jayden and if we are a score apart late on then you’d trust him.

Also two teams playing 4 down football.

Yup. Absolutely thrilled we got this far.

The first few mins of the Lions game, I thought we in for a right old mullering. They were cutting through us like butter. The longer the game went on though, we took control and always stayed that one step ahead of them.

Turnovers were a massive help too of course.

Washington surprised me how effective they were in all departments. It wasn't even that close in the end, thanks to the bonkers second quarter.
Hurts looked a bit of a liability for the Birds, with that safety and the number of yards he lost with sacks, but the defense stepped up and limited Stafford's choices.
Daniels and the Commanders are coming good just at the right time and they could cause problems at the Linc next weekend.
