The Commanders' Terry McLaurin accelerated to a 59-yard touchdown, and hit a rare franchise mark in the process versus the Lions.

After a Brian Robinson Jr. touchdown for Washington, the Lions took a 14-10 lead on a remarkable catch by Sam LaPorta and a PAT. In a game that had the earmarks of a slobber knocker, the Commanders scored twice in 58 seconds of the second quarter to take a 24-14 lead.

Detroit was able to open the second half with nearly a 6:00 offensive drive that spanned 91 yards. St. Brown and Gibbs led the way, as Detroit trimmed the Commanders' lead to 31-28 midway through the third quarter. Gibbs scored his second touchdown of the game on an 8-yard scamper.
