Detroit Lions Face Washington Commanders in NFC Divisional Round

The top-seeded Lions look to rewrite playoff history against the Commanders in a game with deep historical and competitive stakes.

The Detroit Lions (15-2) will host the Washington Commanders (12-5) on Saturday, January 18, 2025, at 8 p.m. ET at Ford Field in Detroit.
This game marks a rematch of the 1991 NFC Championship, where Washington defeated Detroit 41-10, ending the Lions' Super Bowl hopes.
Detroit enters the matchup with the NFL's top-ranked offense, averaging 33.2 points per game, and is favored by 8.5 to 9 points by major sportsbooks.
Washington's rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, recently named Offensive Rookie of the Year, has revitalized the team's offense with his dual-threat abilities.
A win for Detroit would send them to their first NFC Championship game since 1991, while Washington aims to prove their resurgence under head coach Dan Quinn is legitimate.
