Lions vs. Commanders preview

The Washington Commanders welcome the Detroit Lions to Landover, Maryland, looking to shake off their losing ways. The Commanders are struggling in 2025 in large part due to injury and will once again turn to Marcus Mariota at quarterback with Jayden Daniels sidelined with a dislocated elbow.

The Commanders will need to play almost a perfect game if they hope to pull out a victory in Week 10. The Lions are one of the best teams in the NFL, and the likes of Jared Goff, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, and Jahmyr Gibbs will give the Commanders' defense plenty of problems, especially with Marshon Lattimore lost for the season.

The Lions' defense has improved this season and will create havoc for Mariota at quarterback. Mariota will have to try and lead the Commanders' offense with limited weapons at his disposal. Terry McLaurin has already been ruled out as he continues to deal with a hamstring injury, while Luke McCaffrey has been lost for the season with a broken collarbone.

The Commanders coming away with a victory against the Lions seems like a tall task, but this is the NFL, and any team can win on any given Sunday.
