Sunday Night Football: Bucs and Commanders tied 10-10 at halftime

The Bucs and Commanders may be playing the best wild card game of the weekend so far.

At halftime, the teams were tied 10-10 in the locker room.

Tampa Bay trailed 10-3 when Baker Mayfield gave Mike Evans the lead in the final two minutes. Evans, playing his nemesis Marshon Lattimore, had three catches for 32 yards and a touchdown on the final drive of the half. He also called an 11-yard pass interference penalty on Lattimore in the end zone with 13 seconds left, setting up his touchdown on the next play.

Evans has five catches for 66 yards and a touchdown, and Mayfield is 9 of 12 for 108 yards and a touchdown.

Mayfield put the Bucs on a seven-play, 74-yard drive with a Beast Mode 18-yard run on third-and-9. He leads the team with 21 rushing yards.

Washington outscored the Bucs 170 to 148 and could have scored on all three drives, not to mention a kneel-down at the end of the half.

On their first drive, the Commanders faced fourth-and-2 at the Tampa Bay 20 and Jayden Daniels’ pass fell incomplete.

The Commanders then went 92 yards on 17 plays and were on fire on their next drive with 9:08 left. Daniels threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Dyami Brown with 9:26 left in the first half.

Zane Gonzalez hit a 52-yard field goal on the Commanders’ third drive.

Daniels is 11 of 16 for 108 yards and a touchdown and has rushed for 30 yards on nine carries. Terry McLaurin has four catches for 62 yards.

The Commanders consider the return of defensive tackle Daron Payne (finger) to be questionable.
