Washington is primed to win the game here with a field goal — three seconds left to play.

The Commanders convert on 3rd & 2, and worse, a Lavonte David injury causes the Bucs to burn their last timeout.

Todd Bowles is... letting the clock run?

Yaya Diaby covers Austin Eckler and the Commanders are now in field goal range. That might be it...

Two-minute warning. Bucs need the ball back bad...

Commanders have a 3rd & 6 but convert on a 21-yard completion to Dyami Brown.

Kick is good. It's 20-20 here in Tampa Bay after Bucs miss an opportunity for 7.

Bucs stopped on third and short, so Bucs kicking.

TOUCHDOWN, COMMANDERS — Commanders go for it on fourth and get it to Terry McLaurin in the end zone. Pending XP, Commanders back on top 20-17.

The Bucs get ANOTHER stop on third and the Commanders will go for it AGAIN...

TURNOVER — Tampa Bay fumbles the football and gives it back to the Washington Commanders deep in Tampa Bay territory. That's a game-changer.

Mike Evans hits a diabolical stretch to get the first down on 3rd & 7 and picks up the first. Veteran play.

TURNOVER ON DOWNS — Jayden Daniels can't find Zach Ertz and the Bucs get the ball back on downs. Wow.

Bucs stop the Commanders on 3rd & Goal, and of course, Commanders are going for it...

PI is called on Zyon McCollum, so Commanders at the 1 now...

Uh oh — Zyon McCollum is being evaluated for a concussion...

Jamel Dean has been ruled OUT, per NFLGSIS. Huge blow to Tampa Bay's secondary.

They convert on a ball to Zach Ertz, which goes for 14. First down Commanders.

Jayden Daniels throws an incomplete pass on 3rd down, and on 4th & 5, Commanders are going for it...

Jamel Dean has a knee injury and is questionable to return.

The next man up is Josh Hayes, who has performed poorly in his limited action this season.

Terry McLaurin beats Jamel Dean pretty badly, and Dean is hurt on the play.

Jamel Dean is called for holding (pretty weak IMO) and the Commanders move up to the 35

FIRE THE CANNONS — Bucky Irving gets the touchdown on a dumpoff and pending XP, Bucs are out front 17-13.

Defensive holding gives Tampa Bay a fresh set of downs at the one, first and goal

First and goal for Tampa Bay at the 2...

Mike Evans works Marshon Lattimore again for 18. Bucs at the 32

He came back in, so he's all good.

Kick is good. Commanders go up 13-10 on Tampa Bay.

Bucs get a big stop on the Commanders on 3rd & Goal and they'll kick

3rd & Goal here for Washington...

Calijah Kancey is being evaluated for a concussion.

Jayden Daniels rolls out and hits Dyami Brown for 30 yards and a first. Contain remains a problem.

Aaaaand we're back. Commanders get the ball to start the second half.

TOUCHDOWN, BUCS — Evans beats Lattimore the clean way and gets the TD. Pending XP, we're all tied up here 10-10 in Tampa Bay

Todd Bowles lets the clock run for about 9 seconds before calling a timeout?

Gain of 11 from Cade Otton and the Bucs are moving the football

Baker Mayfield scrambles for 18 and gets the Bucs up to midfield

Zane Gonzalez hits from 51. 10-3 Commanders — Commanders have led scoring drives of 9:08 and 5:28

Commanders are kicking with Zane Gonzalez, but we have already hit the two-minute warning. 1:57 to go

Bucs get a sack, but Zyon McCollum is called for holding on the play, so Commanders get a fresh set of downs

Commanders convert yet another 3rd & 3 — Bucs defense having a lot of trouble getting off the field, and it's costing them a lot of time on the clock.

Bucs can't pick up the 22 they need on third down, so they'll punt.

Bucs get a 15-yard penalty from a chop block on Bucky Irving, so Bucs face 2nd & 24

Sorry, that is of course *7-3 Commanders.

TOUCHDOWN, COMMANDERS — Jayden Daniels finds Dyami Brown for a score. Pending XP, it's 10-3 Commanders here in Tampa Bay.

Here we go — 3rd & Goal for Washington

Commanders convert on 3rd & 3 and have a 1st & Goal at the 8. This drive is burning up some clock.

Commanders convert. They're at the 22.

Daniels stopped on third down again and they are again going for it on 4th & 1
