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

And I can name a few from the Lakers cause I’m not a biased plea copper.

Losing to Detroit in 04, getting swept by Dallas in 2011, and losing to Houston in 81 and 86.

And GB losing to Denver in 97 was pretty bad too. They were favored by 11 points I think and the NFC had been dominating for years

As a patriots fan who saw them lose the SB to the giants after the perfect regular season, I saw a lions loss coming at some point. Purely because like the Patriots they put so much effort into blowing teams out and not resting players enough during the season and doing a bit to much in some games. Some of these players burnt out.

If you've been paying attention then it wasn't much of an upset. Those injuries and lack of guys were going to catch up to them eventually,

Jayden balled though.

It was still a big upset, but not the biggest given all the injuries on defense

Same, I'm not surprised that Washington won, but I did expect the Lions to win today playing at home and rested. Dan Quinn and squad put on a clinic, but people seem to forget that the Lions have the most man games lost due to injury than any other team in the league. Not an excuse but most teams with this many injuries would have collapsed in the regular season.

Good game. Congrats Commanders. Detroit is gonna woop dat ass.

This is a narrative. If Goff has even 2 less turnovers the Lions win this game. This loss strictly on him, the rest of the Lions played well.

Goff turned it over 4 times. They'll be looking for a QB THIS offseason.

I think Goff is good for another season. Yeah they went out in surprising fashion but he played well enough this season and can get them to the playoffs again next season....the big question mark will be how they replace Ben Johnson if he is such a guru for the offense.
