That's a huge tackle by Lions DB Brian Branch. Jayden Daniels got it to Dyami Brown just short of the sticks on 3rd-and-5, but Branch brought him down immediately to force a fourth down. Branch was hurt on the play, though, and now the Commanders are going for it on 4th-and-2.

Jayden Daniels gashed the Lions on a 14-yard scramble, then draw a personal foul after taking a helmet-to-helmet hit from Joshua Pascal after handing it off on an option. He's still doing damage.

The Lions D is still dealing with injuries.

It's pretty hard to overstate how big this drive is. Score and the Commanders stay ahead by multiple scores. Get stopped and the Lions have all the momentum.

Here we go. The Lions methodically march down the field and cap the drive off with an eight-yard run by Jahmyr Gibbs, who is now at 103 yards and two TDs on 13 carries. It's a three-point game

The Lions get tricky on a lateral followed by a shovel pass, which breaks free Amon-Ra St. Brown for a 20-yard gain. Ben Johnson is showing why he's this cycle's top head-coaching candidate.

Calls aside, the Lions offense is moving.

People aren't loving a questionable facemask penalty on the Commanders.

The Lions defense opens the second half with a massive stop. They'll take over at their own 9-yard line after a great punt from Tress Way.

The Lions kick off and the second half is underway

Right now, the difference is the Commanders winning the turnover battle 3-0.

The two teams have combined for 621 total yards. The Commanders are averaging 8.0 yards per play. The Lions are averaging 9.4. The pregame over/under was 50.5 and already in the rear-view mirror. The live total is currently 82.5.

We are on track for a historic shootout, as well as a huge upset unless the Lions figure out an answer for Jayden Daniels.

The Lions had a chance to cut this to a one-score deficit at halftime, but Jared Goff goes off-target in a deep pass to Jameson Williams and rookie Mike Sainristil cuts it off for a huge interception in the end zone. The Commanders kneel it out to end a wild, historic first half.

Good news for the Lions: Jared Goff is back in.

Jayden Daniels is 14-of-21 for 242 yards, two touchdowns, no interceptions, no sacks and a 137.4 passer rating, plus 30 rushing yards. On the road. In the playoffs. Against the No. 1 seed. As a rookie.

We might be watching one of the best playoff performances ever.

On 3rd-and-goal, against the top third-down defense in the NFL, Jayden Daniels finds Zach Ertz to put the Commanders up 31-21 with 1:46 left in the first half.

THIS GAME. On 2nd-and-8, Jayden Daniels gets it to Dyami Brown for a 39-yard gain. Washington is in the red zone at the two-minute warning. Brown has 96 receiving yards.

TB12 capturing the moment, as always.

The Lions are averaging 10.3 yards per play. They are losing.

Starting QB or not, this game is still going. Jameson Williams gets the ball on a trick play and takes it to the house. We've still got four minutes left in this half.

Important to note: Teddy Bridgewater was coaching high school football a month or two ago. Now a No. 1 seed's playoff hopes could be riding on him. Football.

Teddy Bridgewater enters the game at QB for the Lions. Jared Goff is being evaluated for a concussion after taking an impact to the helmet on the pick-six return. This became a brewing disaster for the Lions very quickly.

Ford Field just got a little quiet. Jared Goff overthrows it into the hands of Quan Martin to give the Commanders a 24-14 lead. Goff got wrecked on the return too.

It's in situations like this we should remember the Commanders needed the miracle of all miracles to beat the Bears in the regular season.

The Commanders are averaging 7.8 yards per play. The Lions are averaging 9.0. Ben Johnson and Kliff Kingsbury are doing their jobs tonight.

The Commanders respond quickly. A pair of blocks bust open a screen pass for Terry McLaurin, who runs it all the way in from 58 yards out. We've got a football game here.

That's a fun pick-up by the Fox broadcast. Lions tackle Dan Skipper reported as eligible and ran a route. The Commanders opted to double-team him.

He didn't just catch it one-handed, he tucked it in mid-air one-handed.

What a play by Sam LaPorta, who gives the Lions the lead back with a wild one-handed catch. It took an impressive play from Jared Goff just to get it there too.

Lions have 1st-and-goal after a quick pass to Kalif Raymond picks up 15 yards.

Amon-Ra St. Brown fights through defensive holding for a 34-yard gain. They might be losing, but the Lions keep picking up big plays.

Oh man, Jared Goff juuuust overthrows Jamison Williams on a downfield bomb to open the Lions' drive.

On their ninth play in the red zone, the Commanders run Brian Robinson Jr. up the middle on an option and take the lead. Offensive guard Sam Cosmi is down with an injury.

The Lions get called for pass interference on a critical 3rd-and-goal. Kerby Joseph had a hand on Terry McLaurin when he fell down, and it means a fresh set of downs for D.C.

Lions fans do not approve.

The Commanders go for it on 4th-and-3 at the Lions' 9-yard line and get it. Zach Ertz got stopped two yards short of a touchdown.

Commanders fan Kevin Durant didn't appreciate Jahmyr Gibbs doing his dance.

The lights are definitely not too bright for Jayden Daniels. Given plenty of time to stand in the pocket, the rookie finds a wide-open Dyami Brown for a long gain.
