33 — Years since Washington last reached the NFC title game, on the way to the third and most recent Super Bowl win in team history. Only five current Commanders players were alive then: Linebackers Bobby Wagner and Nick Bellore, tight end Zach Ertz, offensive lineman Cornelius Lucas and punter Tress Way.
Rookie Mike Sainristil, taken in the second round 48 picks after Daniels, had two interceptions, and safety Quan Martin returned his pick of Jared Goff 40 yards for a touchdown. Dorance Armstrong also forced Goff to fumble as part of the 45-31 victory on Saturday night.
