The Washington Commanders aim to continue their playoff run following a Wild Card victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Their next challenge is a formidable road matchup against the NFC's top-seeded Detroit Lions. The Buccaneers have shown how a Wild Card team can reach and win the Super Bowl, a feat the Commanders hope to replicate.
Las Vegas Raiders pass rusher Maxx Crosby acknowledges the Commanders' potential, highlighting quarterback Jayden Daniels' calmness under pressure. Crosby warns not to underestimate Washington, especially given the Lions' struggles against dual-threat quarterbacks.
The Lions have had a strong regular season, losing only two games, but their defense has been vulnerable against mobile quarterbacks. The Commanders could pull off a significant upset if Daniels can exploit this weakness, marking a historic moment for a No. 6 seed if successful.
