When is Lions vs. Commanders? Detroit Lions vs. Washington Commanders starts at 8 p.m. ET on Jan. 18. This fixture takes place at Ford Field. How to watch Lions vs. Commanders for

Standing in their way are the Washington Commanders, a team that completed an even faster turnaround after a four-win season a year ago. Washington won its wild-card clash with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers thanks to the outstanding performance of rookie quarterback phenom Jayden Daniels (and some help from the right upright on a game-winning field goal attempt).

The rookie quarterback was sensational as the Commanders squeaked by the Buccaneers on a last-second field goal that doinked in off the upright. Washington now heads north to Detroit to face the NFC's top seed.
