What. A Game. Last night we got the treat of the Commanders against the Lions. What we saw was just unbelievable!

Wow. What just happened?! For those of you who tuned into last night’s Divisional Round matchup between the #1 Seeded Lions and #6 Seeded Commanders, you got to see a treat. The entire game I was almost waiting for the Commanders to slip up and make that mistake, or fail on an extremely risky fourth-down conversation, and for the Lions to take the lead and never look back. But I was waiting for a while!

This Commanders team, and Jayden Daniels, are both unbelievable. Yesterday he became the 6th Rookie QB to ever take his team to a Conference Championship game. The first 5 have all lost in that round. There’s a sense of poise when it comes to Daniels that you don’t see when it comes to a rookie. On top of that there’s a likability factor with this Washington team! Dan Quinn, Zach Ertz, Bobby Wagner. A bunch of veteran guys who have come together and are being led by their young superstar who doesn’t know any better.

The highlights of the game are RIGHT HERE if you want to watch them.

This was the first year that the Detroit Lions had expectations. They were one of the top two Super Bowl favorites for almost the entirety of the regular season. They kept getting more and more players added to their IR, but kept battling regardless. Yesterday it seemed to catch up to them. They couldn’t stop the Commanders at all.

I feel for Detroit fans, it seemed like they had become a lot of people’s second-favorite team this year. The story of Goff and Dan Campbell bringing a trophy to the city of Detroit would have been unbelievable. A story that has become equally amazing is what is going on in Washington. Daniels and Co. are now one win away from the Super Bowl, and what’s to say they can’t get there?

They will now face off against either the Rams or the Eagles with a shot at the Super Bowl on the line!

This was a true case of a Magical Run vs A Team of Destiny, and in this case, it was Magic that came out on top!
