It will be interesting to see how Daniels and the Commanders perform in the NFC Championship Game. Washington has had several impressive performances in the playoffs, but reaching the Super Bowl is another task.
To get to this point, the Commanders defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 23-20 in the Wild Card round, winning with a walk-off field goal that doinked in off the post.
Although it was close against Tampa Bay, that wasn’t the case in the Divisional Round. The Commanders pulled off an impressive and dominant win over the Lions. They had a 31-21 lead in the first half thanks to a four-touchdown second quarter and never let the lead go.
However, part of the credit for their win belongs to the Commanders’ defense, who picked off quarterback Jared Goff three times.
The Eagles are a more experienced team than the Lions and, as a result, are less likely to make mistakes, so Daniels and Commanders will need to be at their best to pull off the upset.
