The Washington Commanders fell behind 22-0 to the Detroit Lions Sunday before scoring four second-half touchdowns to make it a game. Unfortunately for the Commanders, the terrible start, along with some coaching decisions and a porous defense, ended any chances at a comeback win, falling 36-27 to the Lions.
Carson Wentz passes for 337 yards and three touchdowns in the loss, despite being under pressure all day. Washington’s defense allowed 425 total yards, including 191 rushing yards, to the Lions.
Washington falls to 1-1 on the season and faces the Eagles next week.
