The Washington Commanders started their 2022 season with a win in Week 1 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, this Week they’ll travel to Detroit to take on the Lions.
Washington will be looking to start 2-0 for the first time since 2011. They’ll face a team they last played in 2020 when they lost on a last-second 59-yard Matt Prater kick.
Detroit will be looking to rebound from their Week 1 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in which they rushed for 181 yards, 144 by D’Andre Swift alone. At the same time, the Commanders will be looking to improve on last week’s game when Carson Wentz tossed four touchdowns to three different receivers, but also managed to throw two interceptions in back-to-back plays before helping bring the team back with a strong fourth quarter.
