On Sunday, January 26, the Commanders made their highly anticipated comeback to the NFC Championship match for the first time since 1991. Tiafoe, a vocal fan of everything Washington DC, showed off his loyalty for the Commanders ahead of the game but was disappointed with his team's performance.

The Eagles swept past the Commanders 55-23 and in the process earned the record of scoring most points in an NFC Championship game. They have set up a mouthwatering Super Bowl LIX clash against the Kansas City Chiefs.
