The Washington Commanders can clinch a playoff berth on Sunday, capping a whirlwind turnaround from a four-win season last year.
Following a pivotal home win over the Eagles last weekend, the 10-5 Commanders occupy the No. 7 seed in the NFC, ahead of the Seahawks and Buccaneers.

The Commanders play the Sunday night game, but Washington fans should keep a close eye on the Bucs-Panthers game at 1:00 p.m. ET. If the Bucs lose, the Commanders are in the playoffs.
