Unfortunately for the Detroit Lions, They proved once again that they are an eternal epic. They were favorites for the first time in a long time, but the Washington Commanders were hungry and outplayed and crushed them 45-31.
Detroit made all the mistakes it hasn’t made in the season, while Washington played without complexes, removing doubts for those who still don’t know if Jayden Daniels can consider him Rookie of the Year.

Much of the credit goes to coach Dan Quinn, who changed the face of the team and helped Washington win a playoff game for more than 30 years.
Surprising, yes, how the season went, but the Chiefs definitely showed they are a team to watch out for.
