The NFL is STUNNED

In a stunning upset on January 18, 2025, the Washington Commanders defeated the top-seeded Detroit Lions 45-31, advancing to their first NFC Championship game in 33 years. Rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels showcased exceptional poise, throwing for 299 yards and two touchdowns, while adding 51 rushing yards. The Commanders' defense was formidable, forcing five turnovers, including a pivotal pick-six by Quan Martin and two interceptions by fellow rookie Mike Sainristil. Despite a strong performance from Lions' running back Jahmyr Gibbs, who amassed 175 yards and a touchdown, Detroit's four turnovers proved costly. The Commanders capitalized on these mistakes, with Brian Robinson Jr. contributing two rushing touchdowns. Washington now awaits the winner of the Philadelphia Eagles and Los Angeles Rams matchup to determine their opponent in the NFC Championship game.
