The Washington Commanders open the 2024 season on the road Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tampa is a 3.5-point favorite over Washington.
These two teams look completely different from their last meeting in November 2021. The legendary Tom Brady quarterbacked the Bucs that day, while Taylor Heinicke led Washington to the upset victory.
On Sunday, Baker Mayfield begins his second season in Tampa after turning his career around in 2023, leading the NFL in touchdown passes. For the Commanders, all eyes are on rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels. Can Daniels lead Washington to the upset road win over the Buccaneers in his NFL debut?
