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.

Detroit will host the Washington Commanders on Saturday night in the divisional round as the NFC’s No. 1 seed for the first time in franchise history, an advantage it earned by winning a team-record 15 games.

“The Detroit Lions need to win more than anybody. If they lost this game, that would be the most heartbreaking playoff loss, because they haven’t won a championship since 1957. To lose at home to arguably the worst team in the field, that would be terrible.” – Andrew Perloff, SiriusXM
