Why your team won, lost: NFL divisional round (Why the Lions lost - The Lions' defense struggles to finish: The Lions pass rush got after Daniels, pressuring him on 36.1% of his dropbacks and registering 17 pressures in total, but their inability to sack Daniels and cut drives short hurt throughout the game. Daniels has shown a penchant for avoiding sacks in his rookie season, and the Lions pass rush just couldn’t get hands on him. Pressures are good, but defenses must be able to turn them into sacks. Goff and the offense can’t take care of the ball: Just as turnovers benefitted the Commanders, they were the Lions’ undoing. Goff turned the ball over three times in the first half, and the Lions' inability to protect the football saw them down by 10 and chasing the game by the half. Goff turned the ball over again in the second half, and Williams threw an errant interception on a trick play. Not protecting the ball in the biggest moments cost the Lions. Yards after the catch struggles: The Lions' defense lost Amik Robertson early in the game, and with the defense already depleted, any further injury would hurt. But even beyond that, the defense struggled to take down open ball-carriers and allowed 193 yards after the catch to the Commanders receivers. Kindle Vildor, who stepped in for Robertson, allowed 115 yards after the catch.): https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-why-your-team-won-lost-nfl-divisional-round
10 highest-graded players from the divisional round (5. T Penei Sewell, Detroit Lions (90.2): Sewell dominated in the run game, leading all tackles with a 91.9 run-blocking grade. He was equally impressive in pass protection, allowing just one pressure on 26 true pass sets. Through the postseason, Sewell is the highest-graded tackle and the only one to earn 80.0-plus grades in both pass and run blocking. 9. RB Jahmyr Gibbs, Detroit Lions (81.4): Gibbs was electric against Washington, rushing 14 times for 105 yards and two touchdowns. He forced five missed tackles, gained six first downs, and led all running backs with five carries of 10-plus yards, including a 33-yard burst. In the passing game, Gibbs caught six of 10 targets for a position-leading 70 yards. Gibbs’ 88.2 rushing grade is tied for the highest among running backs through the divisional round. 10. WR Amon-Ra St. Brown, Detroit Lions (80.4): St. Brown caught eight passes for 137 yards and moved the chains seven times. He recorded four explosive gains of 15 or more yards, including three catches of 20-plus yards, and averaged 7.8 yards after the catch per reception.): https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-10-highest-graded-players-from-the-divisional-round

Ranking the 10 teams eliminated from the 2025 NFL Playoffs by their 2026 Super Bowl hopes (2. Detroit Lions - Returning building blocks: Jared Goff, Jahmyr Gibbs, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Aidan Hutchinson, Penei Sewell. Detroit got off schedule, Goff tried to do too much and the Lions couldn’t defend the home field advantage a 15-win regular season earned them. That was brutal, but it was also tremendously unlucky — by the time the second half of their playoff loss to the Washington Commanders rolled around, more than half their season-opening two-deep defensive depth chart was injured. A healthy Detroit team is a Super Bowl contender. The question is who’ll be calling the plays on each side of the ball with offensive coordinator Ben Johnson and defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn both rising stars who could be promoted to head coach duties elsewhere. Would returning 2024’s core be enough to convinced them to run it back one more year for a potentially historic, and cathartic, season?): https://ftw.usatoday.com/lists/super-bowl-power-rankings-2026-eliminated-teams-vikings-ravens-lions
