Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian gives inside look into his experience at Commanders vs Bucs' dramatic wild card playoff

On Sunday, January 12, Alexis Ohanian, Serena Williams' husband, attended the NFC wild-card matchup between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Washington Commanders. The Commanders secured a playoff spot in the 2025 NFL season with a 12-5 record.

Beyond his entrepreneurial pursuits, Alexis Ohanian is a dedicated NFL fan, often seen rooting for the Washington Commanders. Days before the game, the 41-year-old hoped for a victory against the Buccaneers at the wild-card game. Living up to his expectations, the Commanders delivered, securing a 23-20 win at Raymond James Stadium.

Ohanian was in attendance at the game and shared a few pictures from the evening on X.

"Armed with a Celsius and a Zyn and ready for a great night in Tampa," he wrote in a post.

In another clip, the Reddit co-founder appeared thrilled as he watched Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin warming up.

"Big players show up and show out on big nights. @TheTerry_25," he wrote.

The Washington Commanders clinched victory in dramatic fashion as Zane Gonzalez’s 37-yard field goal bounced off the right upright and went through as time expired. Quarterback Jayden Daniels played a pivotal role, completing 24 of 35 passes and throwing for two touchdowns, while wide receiver McLaurin contributed significantly with seven receptions for 89 yards and a touchdown. Notably, it was the first post+season victory for the Commanders since 2005.
