Commanders-Lions: Jayden Daniels, Washington pull off one of NFL's greatest playoff upsets in 45-31 shootout win over Detroit
Detroit, which needed to win just two home games to make the first Super Bowl in franchise history, is out. The Commanders are moving onto the NFC title game for the first time since the end of the '91 season.
Commanders' stunning win over Lions ends this historical NFL playoff drought that dates to 1991
From 1982 until 1991, the Commanders played in a total of five conference title games and four Super Bowls during a span that ended with three Lombardi Trophies. However, after losing to the Lions in the NFC title game to end their 1991 season, the Commanders didn't make it back to the NFC Championship until beating Detroit on Saturday night.
