Miscues in the fourth quarter proved to be the downfall for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. The Washington Commanders secured a narrow 23-20 victory

A shocked Baker Mayfield is going to have to live with Sunday night's loss for a long time. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers fell to the Washington Commanders, 23-20, at Raymond James Stadium on Sunday evening.

Mayfield’s frustration was evident after the fumble, punching the ground as Washington recovered. Despite the setback, the Buccaneers rallied to tie the game at 20-20 on a field goal, but another miscommunication — this time an early snap by rookie center Graham Barton — cost Tampa Bay a chance to maintain momentum.

Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield took the blame for a costly fourth-quarter fumble Sunday night against Washington and said that while it will "wear on me for a while," he's proud of the way his team competed this season.

It was a game that was defined by two Buccaneers errors: A Baker Mayfield fumble attempting a handoff to Jalen McMillan and a botched snap that cost the offense precious yards. Todd Bowles' team was made to pay both times. "Dumb mistakes,'' conceded QB Mayfield.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers fell to the Washington Commanders, 23-20, as Zane Gonzalez kicked a 37-yarder as time expired. Baker Mayfield completed 15 of 18 attempts for 185 yards and two touchdowns for a 146.5 rating. Mike Evans led the Bucs in receiving with 92 yards on seven receptions and a touchdown.

Rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels led the Commanders on a 10-play, 51-yard drive that set up the go-ahead kick.

Jayden Daniels and the Commanders delivered Washington's first playoff win in nearly 19 years. The celebration was short-lived as they turn their attention to the next challenge of playing at the NFC-leading Detroit Lions in the divisional round on Saturday night.
