Following their divisional-round loss vs. the Commanders, Lions head coach Dan Campbell gave an emotional post-game speech.

The Washington Commanders did not “take the points” and settle for field goals on fourth down. They knocked out the Detroit Lions with touchdowns after converting on fourth down.

DETROIT -- After passing for over 3,500 yards and rushing for another 891, everybody sees Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels coming. Seeing him coming and stopping him, though, are two different things, and so far, the Commanders haven't run into many opponents who have cracked the code.

The Lions fell to 0-4 all-time against Washington in the playoffs and failed to make the first Super Bowl in team history, falling short of head coach Dan Campbell's stated preseason goal.

The Washington Commanders had their season come to an end with a 55-23 loss in the NFC Championship to the Philadelphia Eagles, and head coach Dan Quinn spoke on some of the calls on fourth downs early in the game.

It's never easy to win and advance this time of year, and Lions coach Dan Campbell knows it. But when it came time to deliver a motivational speech to his team ahead of Saturday night's matchup, the Lions coach kept his message simple.

Jayden Daniels came close, but in the end, came up short in becoming the first rookie quarterback to ever start in the Super Bowl. Daniels' Washington Commanders fell to the Philadelphia Eagles 55-23 Sunday in the NFC championship.
