The Detroit Lions’ greatest season ever is over. The Washington Commanders had every answer Saturday night.
The Lions turned the ball four times, including a fumble and pick-six from Jared Goff and a trick play that ended with a season-crushing Jameson Williams interception, as Jayden Daniels and the Commanders silenced the Ford Field crowd in a shocking 45-31 upset.
Washington (14-5) moves onto the NFC championship game next Sunday for the first time since 1991, at either the Philadelphia Eagles or Los Angeles Rams.
The Lions (15-3) go home after a best-ever 15-2 regular season and their first-ever No. 1 seed. A win would have given them their first chance to host an NFC title game. They are only NFC team never to reach the Super Bowl.
