The Washington Commanders face the Detroit Lions on Saturday at Ford Field in an NFC divisional-round matchup. The top-seeded Lions are heavily favored over the upstart Commanders, led by rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels.
Do the Commanders have a chance to pull off the upset? As long as Washington has Daniels, there’s always a chance. But the Commanders will need a heroic effort from their defense to pull off the road upset.
We look at five Lions to know ahead of Saturday’s game, emphasizing the offense heavily. Detroit’s offense has been unstoppable. The Lions have been without their top defensive player, Aidan Hutchinson, since Week 5.
