The Lions enter the playoffs as the top seed in the NFC, but the Commanders are a team no one wants to face. With their stingy defense and a knack for creating turnovers, Washington thrives in high-pressure situations. They’ve shown time and time again this season that they can win close games, which is exactly what playoff football demands.
Detroit’s explosive offense, led by their dynamic quarterback and a strong running game, has been nearly unstoppable. However, the Commanders’ ability to pressure the quarterback could disrupt the Lions’ rhythm and force mistakes. If Washington’s defense can hold Detroit in check, they’ll give their offense a chance to grind out a victory.
As the Lions try to navigate the pressure of being the top seed, the Commanders could capitalize on any missteps. Is Detroit prepared for the weight of expectations, or will Washington shock the NFC by pulling off the upset?
