The rookie has revitalized a team that hasn’t won a postseason game since 1991, the year it won its last Super Bowl. With 154.1 yards per game, Washington ranks third in the NFL and excels as a team in the run game.

The Bucs’ 10 wins included a 37–20 victory over the Commanders in Week 1, a 20–16 victory over Detroit, the top seed, in Week 2, and a 33–16 victory over Philadelphia, the second seed, in Week 4.
