After the Washington Commanders won their first playoff game since January 2006 on a last-second field goal, every NFL fan said the same thing about the wild-card round win: doink!
The Commanders beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road 23-20, with a Zane Gonzalez field goal as time expired, with the kick hitting the post and bouncing off the uprights for the trio of game-winning points.
Washington's 19-year wait to win the postseason, and all the problems the team had faced since that 2006 victory, also on the road against the Buccaneers, were reduced to a matter of inches.
And the shot that hits the post while going through the posts counts anyway.
“The writers are loving the doink this year,” said one NFL fan.
'Sometimes it's better to be lucky than to be good! Wow!'

González's last-second field goal hit the post and was the indelible memory of the game.
'They're working their way to division!'
“He who does gives and he who does takes.”
“One meter back and it's a crazy, failed game.”
“The Doink of Detroit, if you will.”
'The Washington Post!!!'
“Democracy dies in poverty.”
“That issue bounces back if Dan Snyder still owns the team.”
'THE DOINK-ESTRICT OF COLUMBIA.'
