Lions Seek Redemption Against Commanders After Heartbreaking Playoff Loss
9 Nov
Summary
- Lions look to bounce back from disappointing losses
- Offense under scrutiny, facing vulnerable Commanders defense
- Opportunity to reestablish rhythm and contender status
As of November 9th, 2025, the Detroit Lions are seeking redemption against the Washington Commanders, a rematch of one of the most heartbreaking playoff defeats in the franchise's history. The Lions have dropped two of their last three games, leaving many fans in a tailspin, but this matchup offers a chance for a "get-right" game.
Detroit's offense has been under the microscope, particularly their struggles on second-and-long situations. However, they now face a Commanders defense that has regressed from last season, providing an opportunity for the Lions to reestablish their competency and rhythm. Additionally, the Lions' play-action passing game, which was once a strength, has been underutilized in recent weeks, and this matchup presents the perfect chance to get back to what made them successful.
With the Commanders missing key contributors on defense, including Dorrance Armstrong, Deatrich Wise Jr., and Marshon Lattimore Jr., the Lions' offense, led by Jared Goff, should have a clear talent advantage. This game is a chance for Detroit to prove they still belong among the NFC's elite before a heavyweight matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles next week.
