Where does Commanders over Lions rank among the biggest playoff upsets in recent history?

Packers losing to the Giants at home in 2011 was disgusting. 17-point loss

Lions been playing with a preseason defense for over a month...

Longer than that, big upset on paper but if you follow the game and know details, then you know shyt isn't as ironclad as it seems

For me personally, only ones that comes close is Warriors/Cavs in 2016... after GS got that 3-1 lead and the Cavs came back and won the series was


Dodgers losing in the 2023 NLDS to the Diamondbacks gotta be up there too.

I blame Gelo

I blame LiAngelo for this. Takes a lot of balls and arrogance to let that trash ass nikka perform and he aint even from Detroit!

Titans beating the Ravens in '19 was a bigger upset than this game

That's the first game that came to mind. 15-1, #1 seed defending champ, MVP Rodgers, and they got choked out by a 9 win team.


Only other 15 win team in the SB era to not win a playoff game.

First noted is the only answer

I don't really consider it an epic upset. Lions defense is depleted

 

[feelosofer]

It's a top 10 of all time upset at minimum. Maybe top 5.

Pats shocking the world against the greatest show on turf. They were -14 dog

1998 nfc championship game. Vikings should have won that game. If they did, they would have won the SB easily. Damn Gary Anderson.

2002 nfc championship game…eagles fans probably STILL curse ronde barber to this day lol

2003 nfc championship game…panthers came out of nowhere

2007 SB. Giants beating the undefeated juggernaut Pats in the Super Bowl and denying them both a perfect season and a SB championship in the same night.

But Washington pulled a massive upset tonight. the commanders are really on a Cinderella playoff run this year… they beat the buccaneers last week at their own field on a miraculous, late last second field goal that barely went in and then they destroyed the Detroit lions, the top seed team with the best record in the nfc on the road again by double digits/two touchdowns. Detroit was not playing at full strength because of their multiple injuries, they also beat themselves with sloppy fumbles, interceptions and turnovers from the offense, but it was still a impressive feat by a young and raw Washington team regardless.

I tell you what...it's no Joe Namath "we will win the super bowl"
