Big Dill Sports Recap: Lions 44, Commanders 22 — Detroit drops the hammer in Landover
The Lions rolled into Landover and left cleat marks all over the grass, smashing Washington 44-22 in a Week 10 statement game. (espn.com) This one had a little extra spice — a playoff rematch from last January’s divisional round — and Detroit flipped the script with authority. (nfl.com)
From the jump, the air game was silk. Jared Goff (25/33, 320 yards, 3 TD, 0 INT) dealt like a card shark, finding Amon-Ra St. Brown (5/58/1) in the red zone and letting the burners eat. Jameson Williams (6/119/1) kept torching corners on crossers and posts, while Sam LaPorta (5/53) moved the chains like a metronome. Washington countered with a clean day from Marcus Mariota (16/22, 213 yards, 2 TD) and chunks to Treylon Burks (3/58) and Jaylin Lane (41), but Detroit’s pace never blinked.
Then the ground game put it on ice. Jahmyr Gibbs (15 carries, 142 yards, 2 rush TD; 3/30/1 receiving) hit the gas early on a swing-pass score and detonated the fourth quarter with a 44-yard house call; David Montgomery bullied in a two-point rumble, and the line paved highways as Detroit stacked a beefy 546 total yards on grass. Even special teams got spicy — three Jake Bates field goals and a blocked PAT — while Brian Branch (1.5 sacks) headlined the defensive pop. And here’s your notable news nugget: Dan Campbell snatched the play sheet this week, and the offense looked turbocharged as Detroit scored on eight straight drives. (espn.com)
On the other sideline, Washington flashed fight — Deebo Samuel Sr. (4/29/1) and Ben Sinnott (TD) cashed in red-zone designs — but the run game never found daylight and Detroit kept the pedal welded to the floor. When Gibbs ripped that dagger, the building exhaled; when Bates drilled a late 48-yarder, the Lions stamped the blowout.
Big Dill of the Game: Jahmyr Gibbs — 172 scrimmage yards and 3 total TDs. The juice, the jets, the jolt — he tilted the field all afternoon.
That’s a wrap from Big Dill Sports — I’m Dillon “Big Dill” Smith, reminding you: around here, ballin’ is a big dill. Catch you next time.
