The Washington Commanders are set to kick off a new chapter on Sunday as they face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a Week 1 showdown.

After a tough 4-13 season in 2023, the Commanders are under the guidance of new head coach Dan Quinn and have 2023 Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels, the No. 2 overall pick, stepping in as their starting quarterback.

Meanwhile, the Buccaneers aim to build on their 9-8 record and NFC South title from last season. Washington holds a narrow edge in the all-time series, leading 13-12.

Baker Mayfield's impressive performance in 2023 has the Buccaneers brimming with confidence. The rookie-veteran battle between Daniels and Mayfield will be a key storyline to watch. Will Daniels' poise and talent be enough to outshine Mayfield's veteran experience?
