ROOKIE QUARTERBACK JAYDEN Daniels led the Washington Commanders to a 45-31 victory over the top-seeded Detroit Lions on Saturday in a stunning NFL postseason upset.
But their championship dreams imploded in spectacular fashion after a litany of blunders — including five turnovers — that allowed Washington to build unstoppable momentum in a gripping slugfest. Those scores were part of a frenetic burst of action in the second quarter that saw the two teams combine for an astonishing six touchdowns.
Detroit closed to within three points at 31-28 in the third quarter, but Washington again responded with a Robinson touchdown from one yard out after the Lions helped keep the drive alive with a costly penalty for having too many men on the field. The Commanders, who finished the season with a 12-5 record, will now face either the Los Angeles Rams or Philadelphia Eagles on the road next week in the NFC Championship game with a place in the Super Bowl at stake.In Saturday’s other NFL playoff game, Travis Kelce scored a touchdown and helped set up another as the Kansas City Chiefs stayed on course for a return to the Super Bowl with a 23-14 win over the Houston Texans.
The Chiefs’ defence, meanwhile, delivered another ferocious performance, terrorising Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud, who was sacked eight times.
