Detroit has watched two of its best seasons in team history close in heartbreaking defeats in consecutive years. They have earned their sky-high expectations, but they'll have to wait another year to try to reach them.

Commanders safety Mike Sanristil picked off a Goff pass in the end zone to stop one last Lions drive in the first half, allowing everyone to finally catch their breath with Washington leading, 31-21. For the game, Washington had four interceptions (three of Goff and one of Williams on a trick-play attempt).
