Commanders vs. Lions score, live updates: Detroit hosts Washington in first divisional-round game as No. 1 seed in team history

Detroit: The Lions are feeling pretty good after snagging a first-round bye in Week 18. They’re not just enjoying the extra rest; they’re ready to take on the Washington Commanders. Washington came into the season with lower expectations, but they’ve surprised everyone. They’ve got Jayden Daniels, who’s likely to be the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, and they just pulled off a wild-card win against the Buccaneers.

For the Lions, it looks like David Montgomery will be back after missing the last three games due to a knee injury. He’s been practicing again, and that’s great news. Montgomery had a solid season with 775 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns. He’ll team up with Jahmyr Gibbs, and together they made a strong rushing duo that helped the Lions finish sixth in the league for rushing yards.

If Washington pulls off a win, they’ll be heading to the NFC Championship game for the first time since their Super Bowl victory back in 1991. It’s a big deal for both teams, and fans are definitely in for an exciting matchup!
