The Commanders are taking on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Many fans like Ted Abela are getting ready to travel to Tampa for the game, hoping rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels can deliver a win. “We earned this. 12 wins for this team and so to be able to go down there and the fact that the spread is only three points goes to show you that it is anybody’s game and to have the prime-time Sunday night match up and I think Commander’s fans should get used to being under those lights,” Abela said.

As quarterback Jayden Daniels and his teammates prepare for the big game, Tailgate Ted said he is so proud of what the team has accomplished under a fantastic rookie quarterback. “I did not know what this young man would be but after seeing a whole 17-game season out of him and the heart he has and the tenacity and drive to put in the work that’s needed," he said.
