The Washington Commanders have been one of the best stories of the year in the NFL, and after pulling off a last-second victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 16, Jayden Daniels and company are heading into a game in Week 17 against the Atlanta Falcons. which they can clinch a playoff spot for the first time in five seasons.

The probable offensive rookie of the year is the straw that breaks the camel’s back in Washington, with 22 touchdown passes on a success rate of almost 70% this season. Oh, and the 2023 Heisman Trophy winner also lived up to the hype on the field with a team-leading 737 rushing yards and six rushing scores.

The Falcons enter Week 17 in the race for the NFC South, and wins over the final two weeks will mean a top division title for Atlanta since 2016, the season they reached Super Bowl 51. Atlanta has made a change radical for the present and future before last week, replacing struggling quarterback Kirk Cousins ​​with rookie Michael Penix Jr. Penix threw for over 200 yards in his first NFL start, and the Falcons have won their last two as the club inches closer to its first playoff appearance in eight years.

The Buccaneers, however, beat the Panthers on Sunday and took a momentary lead in the division. If the Falcons don’t win, the Buccaneers look to the title and playoff spot.

Live23 updates

  • Jayden Daniels writes his name in NFL history with the most rushing yards by a rookie QB in NFL history

    Daniels passed former Washington quarterback – and fellow Heisman Trophy winner – Robert Griffin III, whose old record was 815 yards.

  • Falcons forced to punt after first down

    Dante Fowler destroys the game on defense. He was facing Michael Penix Jr. for much of the evening, and his pressure caused a huge incompletion. Now, with just over 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter – and Washington is coming off back-to-back long drives – the Falcons defense needs a big stop to stay in the game.

  • Chris Rodriguez finishes the drive for the Commanders

    After 14 plays, 70 yards in 7:03, the Commanders took the lead 21-17. Atlanta needs something – a first down, a big play – something to get going. It’s the start of the fourth quarter and Washington has made 29 plays to Atlanta’s three in the second half.

  • End of 3rd quarter: Falcons 17, Commanders 14

    Washington made 25 plays and gained 145 yards during the quarter, while the Falcons only made three plays and for a total of -1 yard. Washington’s two methodical drives wore down Atlanta’s defense and the Commanders are in the red zone, knocking on the door again, with a chance to take the lead to open the 4th quarter.

  • Commanders win another 4th down conversion

    Jayden Daniels finds Jeremy McNichols, who put in a tremendous effort to win that first try. Washington is now 3-for-3 on 4th down attempts tonight.

  • Jayden Daniels runs a spectacular race

  • Commanders get another stop and can take the lead

    Dante Fowler’s 3rd strip-sack ended Atlanta’s first drive of the 3rd quarter with a 3-and-out. At halftime, Washington coach Dan Quinn told NBC Sports’ Melissa Stark that he wanted to see better tackling, which the Commanders’ defense did on that first series. Now we’ll see if Washington’s offense can sustain this TD streak with more points.

  • Zach Ertz from Jayden Daniels for the touchdown

    A monster opening by Commanders. 15 plays and 69 yards in 7:47, and that touchdown pass coming on a 3rd and 8, to cut the lead to 3 on a drive that lasted more than half the third quarter.

  • Commanders snag a huge 4th down with the legs of Jayden Daniels

    Commanders uses a naked bootleg to put Daniels at the edge on 4th and 1 conversion to bring the ball to the 12.

  • Sanctions begin to pile up for commanders

    Washington was flagged eight times for 70 yards, but he was able to overcome that on this drive. First, an illegal contact penalty on the Falcons erased a third-down sack, then Jayden Daniels found Zach Ertz for THAT big sack after a holding penalty to put Washington back on schedule.

  • Halftime: Falcons 17, Commanders 7

    Atlanta finished the first half with a field goal to take a 17-7 lead going into the break. Bijan Robinson was the star of the show, with 82 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns in the game, and the Falcons are averaging nearly six yards per carry. Both teams turned the ball over, but the Falcons defense was a little better than the Commanders, keeping Brian Robinson Jr. bottled up with 23 yards on six carries. The Commanders start with the ball to open the second half.

  • That makes two for Bijan Robinson

    The flags cost Washington once again, and fantasy managers with Bijan Robinson love where they are on championship weekend with his two first-half scores. Atlanta leads 14-7 after the PAT made.

  • Dante Fowler, reported for roughing the passer, continues the Falcons’ route

    Sanctions have been a story in defense of commanders. There were two big ones during the Falcons’ scoring streak and now Atlanta is back in the red zone after another flag.

  • Kaden Elliss returns for the pick

    The edge defender is one of the best sack artists for the Falcons, but he showed clean hands on this Jayden Daniels interception in the second quarter. The Falcons now have a chance to regain the lead after stopping the Commanders in the red zone.

  • This is a HIGH STAKES game in Washington

  • End of 1st quarter: Falcons 7, Commanders 7

    It was a back-and-forth start to the game, with the Commanders capitalizing on an early Falcons turnover and the Falcons responding with a score of their own. Jayden Daniels made a scary play where he ducked awkwardly during a tackle, but he stayed in the game without issue.

  • The hawks stop

    After a big sack, the Falcons forced a punt with just under three minutes remaining, and took over with a chance to take the lead.

  • Falcons get a TD on Bijan Robinson’s direct snap

    A 10-play drive that was kept alive by two penalties — one on a field goal that gave the Falcons a first down and another on third-down pass interference in the end zone — allowed Robinson to score the 11th touchdown of the season to win the game. tied at 7-7.

  • Jayden Daniels hits Olamide Zaccheaus to open the score

    It was a 4th down inside the 10 yard line and Dan Quinn chose to roll the dice. He got seven, as Washington was able to turn the opening turnover into points. Washington leads 7-0 as it looks to wrap up a playoff berth with a victory on Sunday Night Football.

  • Michael Penix Jr. turns things around during Falcons’ first practice

    His second interception of the season, and this one was on him. A bad throw – and a great return – allows Washington to get down to business.
