Lions Edge Commanders in Preseason Test | Detroit Lions News

The Detroit Lions pulled off a gritty 17-13 preseason win over the Commanders, with starters getting crucial reps under lights for the first time this camp. Coach Dan Campbell’s plan? Let them play a quarter to see who steps up—and the defense delivered, forcing turnovers and shutting down Washington’s momentum. Offense stumbled early with two costly turnovers, but Josh Dobbs broke through with a 50-yard TD run after solid blocking. Still, concerns linger—especially at center Seth McLaughlin, who struggled with penalties and protection. The win’s encouraging, but consistency and minimizing mistakes will be vital before kickoff.
