Washington Commanders 31-28 Detroit Lions
We end the third with Austin Ekeler burrowing for a couple of yards to the Detroit five on second down. So it will be third down and two when we start the fourth quarter - room to get a first down before a touchdown if needed.
Definitely four down territory for this Commanders team.

Fourth and two - of course Washington go for it and Jayden Daniels thinks about the hand off but keeps it and manages to get to the edge and convert for the first down.
Good wheels on the rookie.

Tom Brady
Seven-time Super Bowl winner on FOXEveryone says how cool, calm and collected Jayden Daniels is. When you add that to the work ethic he has, nothing surprises me. There's a reason why he has so many comeback wins this season.
When all else goes wrong, the quarterback can make people right. That's why Washington drafted him.

Washington Commanders 31-28 Detroit Lions
Josh Paschal rightly flagged for Detroit this time as he smashes Jayden Daniels and hits the quarterbacks head with his helmet - that's a huge no-no in the NFL and costs his side 15 yards.
Silly one really from Paschal.

Former NFL defensive tackle and 2021 Super Bowl winner on Sky SportsJahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery work in a great package. Montgomey was key to some of those plays so I say, run them both.
Great runpublished at 03:22 Greenwich Mean Time
Washington Commanders 31-28 Detroit Lions
Jayden Daniels takes off on a really tough run when under pressure to pick up a first down. Washington have tried to look after the franchise quarterback all season but the gloves are off in the play-offs.
Touchdown - Lions!published at 03:17 Greenwich Mean Time
Washington Commanders 31-28 Detroit Lions
That was inevitable! Jahmyr Gibbs gets the hand off eight yards out and he makes no mistakes using his speed first and then his power by lowering the shoulder to finishi it off in the end zone.
Yes, a stroke of luck for the Lions with that bad call, but that was one play of a 91-yard drive that's sure to have taken a ton of energy out of the Washington defence as well as provided a huge boost to Detroit.
Washington's offence needs an answer now.

Tom Brady
Seven-time Super Bowl winner on FOXAmon-Ra St. Brown reminds me so much of a young Hines Ward. So unheralded, does all the dirty work, so unselfish, catches everything, blocks in the run game. Jared Goff could close his eyes and throw it to St Brown.
Trick playpublished at 03:16 Greenwich Mean Time

Shovel pass inside to Amon-Ra St Brown is amazing - the fact it's from running back David Montgomery after hs took the lateral from Jared Goff is even more amazing.
Those inside flips are usualy Patrick Mahomes territory - not a running back!

The Lions taking full advantage of that bogus face mask penalty as Jahmy Gibbs gets the short catch, waits for a blocker then dances into the space, throws in a spin move for good measure and gets the first down.

Ouch, tough one to take for Washington as they get a stop and look to get Detroit off the field, only to have a flag on them for a face mask, which in fact wasn't a face mask at all!
That's a lifeline for Detroit.

David Montgomery gets smashed at the line of scrimmage, but just bounces out of the contact and then powers down the sideline for a first down. Muscular effort.

That's a good start for the Detroit comeback bid.

Former NFL defensive tackle and 2021 Super Bowl winner on Sky SportsFor Detroit to get back in this game they need to be creative. For whatever reason for Goff, the lights have got a little too bright for him. Ben Johnson needs to calm him down, get him in a groove, and part of getting him in a groove involves trick plays.

Here we go then as the second half begins with Washington getting the ball, let's see if any defence turns up this half...

Former NFL defensive tackle and 2021 Super Bowl winner on Sky SportsI don't think the defences came to play.
Take what's been given to you - that's my problem with Jared Goff tonight. Credit to the Washington defence, they're taking advantage of that.

Daniels continues remarkable rookie seasonpublished at 03:00 Greenwich Mean Time
Washington Commanders 31-21 Detroit Lions
Last week Jayden Daniels became the first rookie in NFL history to lead his team in rushing and passing yards in a play-off win.
He was also the first rookie quarterback to throw at least two touchdown passes in a road play-off victory since Washington's Sammy Baugh threw for three TDs against Chicago in the 1937 NFL title game.
And tonight he's showing it was no fluke. He's completed 14 of 21 passes for 242 yards and two touchdowns - and we're only at half-time.

The only rookie quarterback who has beaten a number one seed in the play-offs is Joe Flacco, who led the Baltimore Ravens to a 13-10 win at the Tennessee Titans in that season's Divisional Round.
Jayden Daniels and the Commanders are on target for some big records here.
