The Lions’ Season Ends With a 45–31 Loss Against Commanders

The chance for the Detroit Lions to host another postseason game at Ford Field was not earned. The National Football League’s top seed, eager to support one of the league’s most popular teams, took the field in front of a cheering home crowd after a regular season in which Dan Campbell’s club earned 15 victories.

Calvin Johnson, a former Lions wide receiver, told FOX 2 Detroit: “It’s amazing. My wife and I, we spent the last three or four games downtown. We got here early, especially for these night games just to be around the people in Detroit,”

“We’ve seen the depths from which they’ve come. We’ve been here 18 years now. So, to see where it was and where it is now, where this team is now, it’s a great place. It’s bringing in energy to Detroit.”

Jayden Daniels, a rookie quarterback, captained the Washington Commanders and performed better than expected in his first season in the league.

Being as disciplined as possible against Daniels was one of Detroit’s defense’s main objectives. Detroit’s defense and its ability to achieve its objectives against a developing superstar were severely damaged by another injury, this time to cornerback Amik Robertson.

Detroit’s fantastic season ended abruptly due to too many mistakes and a poor effort by Jared Goff. After 60 minutes of play, Detroit was unable to make it to the NFC Championship Game for the second time in a row.
