There are some similarities between the Washington Commanders this season and the Detroit Lions of last year. Both had expectations, nothing big but an improvement from the year before. When both made the playoffs, their fanbase just wanted a win to call the season a success. The Lions got two wins and were just a half away from making it to their first ever Super Bowl. On Saturday, Detroit hopes the Commanders don’t go on a similar run as they did last year.
The play by their first-round pick from the 2024 NFL Draft, quarterback Jayden Daniels has propelled the Commanders to early success under their new regime.
