Despite having all-world running back Barry Sanders, the Lions were no match against heavily favored Washington, which rolled to a 41-10 win en route to its third Super Bowl triumph.  The tables have turned for Saturday night's playoff between the two teams.

The Washington Commanders’ star wide receiver is elite at ball-tracking, a skill that is difficult — but not impossible — to measure.

The Lions will soon have to deal with Commanders receiver Terry McLaurin, who has registered at least 1,000 yards in five straight seasons.

The Washington Commanders have won a playoff game for the first time since 2006 thanks to the efforts led by rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels. Daniels threw for 268 yards and two touchdowns as the Commanders beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 23-20 on Wild Card weekend.

Indiana Mr. Football is Washington's first option at wide receiver. The Commanders remain alive after a walk-off win over Tampa Bay.

Terry McLaurin is the heart and soul of the Washington Commanders. On Sunday night, McLaurin, in his first career playoff game, caught seven passes for 89 yards, including a touchdown in Washington's 23-20 over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC wild-card round.

For its regular season finale, the Washington Commanders got Austin Ekeler back on the field. But head coach Dan Quinn pulled Jayden Daniels early. Still, the Commanders got another last-second win, and Terry McLaurin dropped a truth bomb about it, according to a post on X by John Keim.

Commanders WR Terry McLaurin on @notthefakeSVP says of the Lions, “We know it’s gonna be a fourth quarter battle, they have our respect. But anybody, anywhere, anytime.” Then, he shouted out the Buckeyes, and we all know how people in these parts feel about that.

This time rookie superstar Jayden Daniels foud Terry McLaurin for the touchdown and 20-17 lead after the PAT. The lead was short-live as Chase McLaughlin kicked a 32-yard field to knot things at 20 with 4:41 to go.

Washington could construct a formidable duo on offense with this scenario.

A video surfaced of McLaurin realizing he just won his first career postseason game that has since gone viral. The video has over 100,000 views. The veteran wideout immediately celebrated with teammates on the field before heading to the locker room.
