The Washington Commanders stunned the Detroit Lions on Saturday night, scoring 45 points and stealing the game on the road to move on to the NFC Championship.
After going down early, Washington kept their composure and answered back, then created multiple turnovers, including a pick-six, that allowed them to take the lead. After they went up 17-14 midway through the second quarter, they never trailed again.
The Commanders have not made it to the NFC Championship game in 33 years, and have now made it with a rookie quarterback. Just last season, Washington finished 4-13, and now they are handling business in tough road environments in the playoffs.
