Detroit Lions rookie Aidan Hutchinson gets three sacks in first half vs. Commanders

So, that's why the Detroit Lions drafted Aidan Hutchinson with the No. 2 overall pick in April's NFL draft.

The former Michigan football star, who had a rough outing in his debut in Week 1 against the Eagles with just one tackle, feasted in the first half against the Commanders.

Hutchinson sacked Commanders quarterback Carson Wentz three times in the first two quarters. No Lions rookie had ever recorded three sacks in a full game, according to the team.

The first sack came on Washington's first drive of the game.
