The Washington Commanders are on the brink of something special—a potential Super Bowl appearance for the first time in over three decades. They’re set to square off against the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field in the NFC Championship game. The excitement is palpable as Sunday’s showdown approaches, but there’s some lingering buzz from the Commanders’ impressive victory over the Detroit Lions in the Divisional round, which they won 45-31.
In that game, Commanders’ linebacker Frankie Luvu found himself on the league’s radar for a hit on Lions’ quarterback Jared Goff, resulting in a fine. But it wasn’t just on-field hits drawing attention—Lions’ wide receiver Jameson Williams is also feeling the NFL’s disciplinary sting. His touchdown celebration, which crossed the line into the realm of the inappropriate, earned him a $25,325 fine for unsportsmanlike conduct. The gesture, described as less than family-friendly, occurred following a spectacular 61-yard run, marking Williams’ lone catch of the day in an otherwise challenging game for him.
Despite the Lions’ offense living up to its high-octane reputation, their defensive shortcomings against Washington proved costly, leading to their playoff exit. Now, the focus shifts to the Commanders, who are preparing to take on the Eagles with a shot at the coveted Lombardi Trophy on the line.
