The Commanders are in. Jayden Daniels was 24-of-36 for 227 yards and three touchdowns through the air, 16 carries for 127 yards on the ground and broke the NFL's rookie rushing yardage record. It was a brilliant night by Daniels,who's on his way to the playoffs and probably the NFL's Offensive Rookie of the Year award.

Also, the L.A. Rams are in the playoffs with the Falcons' loss.

It's his first 100-yard game in the NFL.

Just a brilliant run by a brilliant rookie in a huge moment.

The Commanders are getting it on the ground over the first couple of plays with Jayden Daniels and Brian Robinson doing the lifting on the ground.

If the game should end in a tie, the Commanders (10-5-1 with a tie) would clinch a wild-card playoff berth and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (9-7) would then go into the driver’s seat in the NFC South, just needing a Week 18 win to win the division over the Falconswho would enter Week 18 at 8-7-1, and need a Bucs loss to win the division.

It would have been a career-best for Patterson, who is in for the injured Younghoe Koo, and the game heads to overtime.

Twelve penalties for 103 yards for Washington tonight. Michael Davis gets flagged for the pass interference, after a neutral zone infraction foul moved the ball up five yards

Atlanta could have used a timeout after a long completion with just under 30 seconds, but elected not to

And now the Falcons will get the ball back with 40 seconds, deep in their own end with two timeouts, and a chance to win the game with a field goal.

Brilliant by the rookie QB for his first NFL touchdown pass on a 4th and goal and Atlanta ties it with 1:19 to go.

The ball sailed over Bijan Robinson's head, dealing a huge blow to Atlanta, who'll have a 2nd and goal at the 26-yard-line and need a touchdown and PAT to tie the game at 24. A terrible mistake for the Falcons' comeback effort.

A questionable holding call got the Falcons behind the sticks, but Michael Penix Jr. found Drake London for 31 yards to the 19-yard-line.

Drake London to midfield on a 3rd down to keep the drive going with 4:08 to play

The Commanders had a touchdown come off the board after a holding call, and despite a 2nd and goal on the 1-yard-line, they'll take a 7-point lead at 24-17. The second half has still been a dominant blowout by the Commanders, who've had the ball for 39 plays over 20:20 for 191 yards against the Falcons. Atlanta has run nine second-half plays and gained 14 yards.

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

Dante Fowler is wrecking the game on defense. He's been in Michael Penix Jr.'s face for a bunch of the night, and his pressure forced a huge incompletion. Now, with just over 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter — and Washington coming off back-to-back long drives — the Falcons' defense needs a big stop to stay in the game.

After 14 plays, 70 yards over 7:03 of game clock, the Commanders take a 21-17 lead. Atlanta needs anything — a first down, a big play — something to get going. Itsthe beginning of the fourth quarter and Washington has run 29 plays to Atlanta's three in the second half.

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

Jayden Daniels finds Jeremy McNichols, who turned in a tremendous effort to pick up this first down. Washington is now 3-for-3 on 4th down attempts tonight.

Dante Fowler's 3rd down strip sack ended things on 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, something the Commanders' defense came out and did on that first series. Now we'll see if the Washington offense can back up that TD drive with more scoring.

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

Commanders go with a naked bootleg to get Daniels on the edge for the 4th and 1 conversion to get the ball to the 12.

Washington has been flagged eight times for 70 yards, but its been able to weather that on this drive. First an illegal contact penalty on the Falcons erased a third down sack, and then Jayden Daniels found Zach Ertz for THIS big one after a holding penalty to get Washington back on schedule.

Atlanta ended the first half with a field goal to take a 17-7 lead into the break. Bijan Robinson has been the star of the show, with 82 rushing yards and a pair of rushing touchdowns in the game, and the Falcons are averaging nearly six yards per rush. Both teams have turned the ball over, but the Falcons' defense has been a touch better than the Commanders’, keeping Brian Robinson Jr. bottled up, with his 23 yards on six carries. The Commanders start with the ball to open the second half.

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

Penalties have been a story for the Commanders' defense. There were two big ones on the Falcons' scoring drive and now Atlanta is back in the redzone after another flag.

The edge defender is a top sack artist for the Falcons, but he flashed some clean hands on this interception of Jayden Daniels in the second quarter. The Falcons now have a chance to take a lead once again after stopping the Commanders in the red zone.

It's been a back and forth game early, with the Commanders capitalizing on an early Falcons turnover and the Falcons responding with a score of their own. Jayden Daniels did have a scary play where he was bent back awkwardly on a tackle, but he's remained in the game without issue.

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

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 a 3rd down pass interference in the end zone — set up Robinson's 11th TD of the season to get the game knotted at 7-7.

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

His second interception of the season, and this one was on him. A poor throw — and great return — has Washington starting out in business.
