Washington Commanders fans are feeling emboldened after knocking off the Bucs and chanted 'WE WANT DETROIT' ahead of the Lions game.

The Detroit Lions are ready to run it back. After a near-flawless 15-2 campaign, the NFC’s No. 1-ranked team will begin their second consecutive march toward postseason glory when they take on the Washington Commanders in the Divisional Round of the playoffs at Detroit’s Ford Field on Saturday, Jan. 18.

The investments have paid off. Detroit, a top-seeded team in the NFL playoffs for the first time, has one of the league's best ground games. While the running backs get much of the praise, Montgomery said the big guys up front deserve more love.
