First Quarter

The game began with both teams testing each other's defenses. The Commanders' quarterback Marcus Mariota showcased precision early on, completing passes that contributed to his impressive completion rate of 73 percent for the game. However, despite his efforts and a touchdown pass to Deebo Samuel, the Lions' defense held strong.

Second Quarter

As the second quarter unfolded, Detroit's offense found its rhythm. The Lions capitalized on their opportunities with Jared Goff leading their charge effectively. Meanwhile, Washington's defense struggled to contain Detroit's rushing attack led by Jahmyr Gibbs. The Commanders managed only one sack attempt throughout the game and failed to force any turnovers.

Third Quarter

In an effort to close the gap, Washington relied on their running backs Chris Rodriguez Jr., who scored a rushing touchdown but was limited to just 16 yards over six attempts. Jeremy McNichols also contributed with 25 yards on five carries but couldn't break through for significant gains against Detroit’s defensive line.

Fourth Quarter

Despite trailing significantly in points by this stage of playtime, Mariota continued his aerial assault finishing with two touchdowns and no interceptions for an overall rating of 133.3 – yet it wasn't enough as time ran out before they could mount any serious comeback attempt against such formidable opposition from Michigan state linesmen who kept them pinned down most times when trying hard not let up even once during those crucial final moments where every yard counted more than ever before now!

The special teams unit had some bright spots; Tress Way punted four times averaging fifty yards per kick while pinning opponents twice inside twenty-yard mark which helped keep things competitive albeit briefly until momentum shifted back towards visitors again later due largely part thanks largely due big plays made possible through sheer determination shown throughout entire contest itself despite odds stacked heavily favoring other side right from outset onwards till very end indeed!
