Commanders upset Lions by beating them at their own game

DETROIT — This wasn’t supposed to happen.

None of it.

Not at ear-splitting Ford Field, where the Detroit locals were so starved for a first-ever Super Bowl team they were going to go hoarse willing their Lions to New Orleans.

This wasn’t supposed to happen to this Lions team that had gone 15-2 and earned the No. 1 NFC seed — one-and-done in the postseason.
