Key Points: The Lions set an NFL record Next up is Philly It includes a glaring omission The Detroit Lions beat the Washington Commanders 44-22 on Sunday in a game that caoch Dan Campbell and his staff will almost certainly never forget. Campbell took over the offensive play calling duties from John Morton and the Lions racked up over 500 total yards en route to the win. After the game, a Detroit area television reporter shared the news that the Lions had set an NFL record in testament to their winning ways, one that bodes well for their Super Bowl chances this season. Lions’ Incredible Streak, Revealed The Lions have now failed to lose consecutive games in more than three years, the longest streak of its kind in NFL history. Detroit has two playoff wins over that time span, in the 2023 NFL Playoffs against the Los Angeles Rams and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, with losses to the San Francisco 49ers and Washington Commanders. Detroit won the NFC North in 2023 and 2024 and is going for its third straight division title win this season. The news was revealed by ABC7 New York reporter Ryan Field, formerly of Fox 2 Sports Detroit and other Detroit area networks. Fans React to Big W Over Commanders Fans reacted to the Lions’ big W over the Commanders in the comments section of Fields’ video post. “Dan Campbell needs to keep calling the plays his showing yesterday was reminiscent of how Ben Johnson ran the offense during his time as OC,” one fan said. “Jamo is way more important to our offense (than) Morton thinks that showed yesterday what a beast of a player he is.” “Washington used to own the Lions,” another said. “No more.” Another pointed out a perceived logical inconsistency about the news. Lions Set to Face Eagles at Lincoln Financial The Lions will face the Philadelphia Eagles next at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. Detroit led the NFC with a 15-2 record last season before injuries derailed their chances of a Super Bowl run.
