Washington Commanders 31-21 Detroit Lions
Jared Goff is back in for Detroit, and with 90 seconds left in the game there's plenty of time for, what, one or two touchdowns the way this game is going?

Image source, Getty ImagesHaha of course they can't! There's no defence allowed today as Jayden Daniels fires a touchdown throw to tight end Zach Ertz.
Runningout of superlatives now for this game - offensively anyway as let's be honest the defending is pretty ropey, but my word it's entertaining!
Daniels is just carving up this Detroit defence, admittedly it's short-handed through injury, but still, this is a rookie quarterback!

Two plays and two rare moments of defensive competence as Detroit keep Jayden Daniels out of the end zone, can they make it three and give Dan Quinn a decision to make?

Time for a quick breather.... These two are swinging for the fences on almost every play, that's what you get in play-off football with the season on the line.

Image source, Getty ImagesThis is just nuts now! Jayden Daniels unloads an absolute bomb downfield and Dyami Brown managed to take an unblievable catch down at the seven-yard line - despite having a Detroit defender's hand squarely over his eyes!
How did he see that? Let alone catch it. A word on the placement from Daniel there, right in the bread basket!

Former NFL cornerback on Sky SportsMy goodness, what a play! And they did it with their back-up quarterback in.

NO WAY! It doesn't matter that you have your back-up QB in when he just has to hand if off to your running back, who then reverses to Jameson Williams to take off on a mesmerising 61-yard touchdown run.
No wonder Lions offensive coordinator is a wanted man for a head coaching job as he dials up plays like that. No starting QB? No problem, let's just get a reverse going, with a whole team of blockers out there and let our sprinter run away for the score.
Are you kidding me?

To add insult to injury, or injury to insult I suppose, Jared Goff is off the field having taken a huge hit on the interception return.
Teddy Bridgewater comes in as back-up quarterback as things go from bad to worse for Detroit.

Washington Commanders 24-14 Detroit Lions
OK, who had Jared Goff throwing a pick six in your next touchdown bingo?
Goff just lets his throw sails high a bit and Washington safety Quan Martin is on hand to gather the ball - and in the spirit of this game he's not taking a knee but he's off and returns it with interest by taking it to the house.
That's a 40-yard interception return touchdown.

BBC SportThese are two of the best offences in the league and they're showing why right now.
That's touchdowns on three straight drives in less than five minutes.
This game is really living up to the hype.

Image source, Getty ImagesWe thought this incredible catch from Sam LaPorta would easily be the play of the game - but then Terry McLaurin said hold my Gatorade and added his Hollywood highlight reel score.
Whatever next?
What a game!published at 02:19 Greenwich Mean Time

Yes, the tackling wasn't great on that Terry McLaurin 58-yard touchdown, but it was a stellar effort and we've got a good old-fashioned shootout on our hands here folks!

Yikes! What are we watching here? Out of nowhere Terry McLaurin takes what is just a short screen pass, but he busts through a hole and is then off to the races!
He stiff-arms a tackler as he scampers down the sideline then dives into the end zone for a sensational touchdown out of absolutely nothing!

Right Jayden Daniels, what have you got now? This could well be the shootout we hoped for. He finds Dyami Brown for a first down.

Image source, Getty ImagesWhat a catch! Tight end Sam LaPorta sticks out a one of those big mitts of his and takes an insane one-handed touchdown grab from Jared Goff - who did something of a Patrick Mahomes as he let the throw go while he's falling down when being tackled.
Superb stuff all round! That's LaPorta's 18th touchdown in two seasons with the Lions.

Khalif Raymond takes a short pass and gets two excellent blocks from his team-mate to stride close to the end zone but is tackled just short.
