The Detroit Lions are home for the second straight week, but are still seeking their first win of the season. This week’s foe is another NFC East team, the Washington Commanders. The Commanders are 1-0 after a come-from-behind victory last week over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Quarterback Carson Wentz threw two second-half interceptions, but made up for it with two fourth quarter touchdowns, including the game-winner with under two minutes remaining.
The Lions will be missing three of their starting five starting offensive linemen, including Pro Bowlers Frank Ragnow and Jonah Jackson. That leaves reserve offensive tackle Dan Skipper sliding inside to start at left guard—a position he hasn’t played since the preseason several years ago.
