Bring on the Commanders

The Lions' playoff opener will be at 8pm on Saturday at Ford Field against the Washington Commanders.

• Fox is broadcasting.

The big picture: As the NFC's No. 1 seed, the Lions rested during the first round of the playoffs over the weekend.

• No. 6 Washington advanced to play Detroit by upsetting No. 3 Tampa Bay last night, 23-20, with a last-second field goal.

Zoom in: The Commanders are led by star rookie QB Jayden Daniels, a poised and skilled passer who can also beat defenses with his legs.

What's next: The NFL playoffs' first round ends with tonight's 8pm clash between the Vikings and Rams on ABC/ESPN.

• The winner will join Detroit, Washington and Philadelphia as the remaining NFC playoff teams.
