The Lions spent Sunday cleaning out their lockers and reflecting on Saturday night's loss to the Commanders rather than preparing for the NFC Championship Game.
The Chiefs face off against the Bills and the Commanders take on the Eagles. Plus: Uncertain futures for Matthew Stafford and Jared Goff, and Lamar Jackson’s playoff exit.
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff dots wide receiver Jameson Williams along the sideline for a gain of 19 yards.
Washington Commanders safety Jeremy Chinn intercepts Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff. This interception allowed the Commanders to end the game and send them to the NFC Championship game for the first time in 33 years.
Goff, with the Lions later trailing by 14, was picked off by Jeremy Chinn with 30 seconds remaining for his third interception of the game. That officially secured the Commanders' spot in the NFC title game, one season after finishing 4-13 to land the No. 2 overall pick in the draft.

There are only four teams left standing in the NFL and just like we all predicted before the season, the Washington Commanders are one of them. Just kidding, no one predicted that. Not even Commanders fans.

The Eagles are headed to the NFC title game and host their division rival, the Washington Commanders. After holding on for a 28-22 win over the Rams in the NFC divisional round, the Eagles will play the Washington Commanders.
The Lions were built well enough that Goff didn't need to be the best quarterback in the league for them to advance. But even this kind of a Maserati needs a driver who won’t plow into traffic.
After throwing a pick-six that extended Washington's lead to 24-14, Goff was lit up by Frankie Luvu during the return. The hit Goff sustained was to the head and neck area, likely leading to an evaluation for a concussion.
