Detroit
News
LANDOVER,
MD – The
Detroit
Lions
dominated
the
Washington
Commanders
44-22 in
Week 10
at
Northwest
Stadium,
extending
their
streak
of never
losing
consecutive
regular-season
games
under
coach
Dan
Campbell.
Campbell
took
over
offensive
play-calling,
leading
the
Lions to
a
season-high
546
total
yards
and
scoring
on each
of their
first
eight
drives.
Quarterback
Jared
Goff was
sharp,
completing
25 of 33
passes
for 320
yards
and
three
touchdowns
without
interceptions.
Running
back
Jahmyr
Gibbs
was the
offensive
star,
rushing
for 142
yards
and
three
touchdowns.
Wide
receivers
Amon-Ra
St.
Brown
and
Jameson
Williams
also
caught
touchdowns,
overpowering
a
depleted
Commanders
secondary.
The
Commanders
struggled
with
significant
injuries,
including
the
absence
of
starting
quarterback
Jayden
Daniels
and
several
key wide
receivers.
Backup
Marcus
Mariota
threw
for 213
yards
and two
touchdowns
but
couldn’t
turn the
tide.
Discipline
issues
also
hurt
Washington
when
defensive
tackle
Daron
Payne
was
ejected
for
punching
St.
Brown.
Detroit
took
control
early,
jumping
to a
14-3
lead in
the
first
quarter
and
leading
25-10 at
halftime.
The
Commanders
never
recovered
as the
Lions
maintained
a
commanding
advantage
throughout.
The win
improved
Detroit’s
record
to 6-3
and kept
them
strong
in the
competitive
NFC
North.
They
prepare
next to
face the
defending
Super
Bowl
champion
Philadelphia
Eagles.
Washington
fell to
3-7 and
faces an
upcoming
international
game
against
the
Miami
Dolphins.
President
Donald
Trump
attended
the
game,
making
history
as the
first
sitting
president
to
attend a
regular-season
NFL game
in
nearly
50
years.
However,
his
visit
was met
with
boos
from the
crowd,
which
intensified
during
his
halftime
introduction
and an
on-field
military
ceremony.
He left
before
the
game’s
conclusion.
This
commanding
victory
showcased
Detroit’s
offensive
resurgence
and
disciplined
execution,
highlighting
key
performances
that
energized
the
team’s
playoff
push.
