Lions Win, But Issues Linger | Detroit Lions News

The Detroit Lions pulled off a gritty 17-13 win over the Washington Commanders in their final preseason home game, offering coaches critical film as they finalize the roster. The run game shined with standout performances from Jacob Saylors, Trayveon Williams, and Raheem Blackshear, backed by solid blocking. Defense delivered relentless pressure, disrupting Washington’s offense and forcing tough situations. But mental lapses—like costly penalties—and uncertainty at quarterback (Dobbs vs. Altmyer) remain concerns. Injuries also loom large, with some players sidelined for the season. While the win is encouraging, the offensive line’s pass protection needs urgent fixing as the team gears up for Week 1.
