For the first half of the game, the Detroit Lions looked absolutely unstoppable. The defense absolutely dominated every facet of the game against the Washington Commanders. The offense was making big play after big play. Detroit held a 22-0 lead at halftime, and if we’re being honest, it probably should have been larger than that.
The Commanders would not make life as easy for Detroit in the final two quarters. On three separate occasions, quarterback Carson Wentz drove Washington into the end zone to potentially cut the lead to one score. But the Lions found a rebuttal the first two times on offense, and a key missed extra point late for Washington essentially sealed it for Detroit at the end.
