First, Dan Miller, Fox 2 Sports Director and Voice of the Lions, joins the show. After a lighthearted conversation about Dan’s childhood in the D.C. area and growing up a Washington fan, Dan and Tim delve into a few storylines of the game. Dan shares his thoughts on the newness of the matchup, Jayden Daniels’ impressive rookie season and the impact www.detroitlio... return could have on the Lions’ offense. Plus, the duo explains how the teams’ aggressiveness on fourth down can be pivotal in the game’s outcome.
Next, Detroit Lions first team All-Pro and Pro Bowl tackle www.detroitlio... joins Tim in the studio for his second appearance on the podcast this season. Penei chats about the importance of the first-round bye, how he spent the extra time off with his family and his family’s involvement in surprising him with the news of being named All-Pro. Penei also talks about the challenges that Washington’s defense presents, the development of rookie linemen www.detroitlio... and www.detroitlio... and how his experience the past three seasons has built to this moment.
To close the show, ESPN Commanders reporter John Keim calls in to discuss all the latest news from Washington.

Seahawks fan here but my Dad grew up in Windsor, Ontario. Huge amount of respect for the Lions and the city of Detroit. It's impossible to root against you guys. You have one more fan this postseason and I wish you the absolute best. Go Lions 💙
Thankyou so much and good luck to your Seahawks they will be on fire next season
windsor ay
I've been to Windsor 3 times in the last 3 months and the amount of support for the Lions in that city is WILD. I lived in Windsor too for a while when Stafford was playing his last few seasons at that point. It's multiplied since then, logarithmically.
I'm 47, spent most of the 1990s in Windsor, bars and parties. The Casino, loved every visit.
@@JimBob-r9lsounds like not much has changed in Windsor
Commanders and lions fans can relate to each other yall had some rough years glad to see both franchises are doing great
Not really the Commanders (Redskins) have 3 rings while Lions none.
Skins fan here. I’m so excited for this matchup. We are blessed to be in this spot and I know both franchises have been through rough times. I was cheering for the Lions last year when my team was obviously out. Hopefully it’s a memorable game. Good luck!
Can’t wait what we been waiting for as lions fans our whole life Go Lions
Dan miller was the man on radio in the DMV area back in the mid nineties 👍
Let’s go Lions
Beautiful DETROIT LIONS football helmet. Bravo.
That's CGI 😉✊🦁🏈
*FORD FIELD BETTER BE LOUD AF!!*
Average ticket $900, it’s going to be lit to say the least
We don't feel the pressure we bring it. OnePride
Well said sir
45 years I have hated loving the LIONS,these past 2 years have made my heart smile ❤ LOVE to LOVE these LIONS ❤
Love Dan Miller he brings a level of excitement to his play by play that is unmatched by anyone.
I love his sidekick with the sticky notes
Let’s go Lions 🏈I can’t imagine seeing another team beat the Lions because they are 🔥
They ‘were’. They were on a bye. We have the momentum. 6 game winning streak. HTTR! HTTR! 🫡💯🔴🟡
Let’s go Lions 🏈 from Thailand.
LETS GO LIONS!!!🗣️😤
My pride and joy*roar my lions 🦁💪 the kings💙
Detroit one pride
Commanders are in town. Three buses rolled into Birmingham. Go Lions!
It's going to be a long trip home for them after they lose.
Those helmets are sweet
Let’s go lions!!!
So ready for the game to get here already -- GO LIONS!!!
As a Colts fan I'm with you. Hope the Lions get to the Superbowl. Us Colt fans didn't have a lot to cheer about this year... lol.
Keep hearing how good the Commanders looked against Tampa. They put up 23 points. Gonna need more than that against Detroit. They won't score 30 and Detroit might score 40. Best option they have is to hope the Lions make mistakes and that's not a solid foundation for victory. If the Lions play their game, they will win. Period.
Bucs beat the lions so there’s that.…& how is everyone talking up the commanders when the whole world is picking Detroit??They’re 9 point favorites!! You sound stupid. You just want to pout about something. I hope you’re not the typical Detroit fan.
We only needed 23 genius. If we would’ve needed 30. We would’ve gotten it.
Love Penei Sewell! Amazing tackle - we are with you on Saturday Penei - crush the Commanders!
You can make the case that Penei is the best pure *football player* in the NFL-- at least in the team photo! GO LIONS!!!
Hey Ford Field crowd, be LOUD & PROUD on Saturday! Make the most of that home-field advantage!
I grew up a redskins fan remember john. Riggins Joe theirsman Dexter Manley Darrell Green etc. but they took the label off so now there commanders. Let's go home team one pride one love lions all day. We waited so long for this historic moment. Let's go make history
I have a massive amount of respect for what the Commanders have done the past couple of years and their growth is phenomenal. They earned their place in the post season, and I'm finding myself wishing they were on the other side of the division so we could play them in the Super Bowl. That said, it's going to be a great game no matter how you slice it.
Also seeing Penei not turned up is an out of body experience
The LION'S as A TEAM THE WHOLE MICHIGAN TEAM PRIDE THEMSELVES On DOING THEIR BEST IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE TO MAKE SURE THEY THEMSELVES AS A TEAM PRIDE WORKING RESPECTFULLY RESPECTFULLY RESPECTFULLY PLAYING THE GAME OF FOOTBALL....SO YOU KEEP CLIMBING UP DETROIT LION'S....❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊
Sam Darnold looked like a world-beater all season, and the Lions humbled him -- can they do same to Jayden Daniels? I think *YES* !!!

Commanders fan here. I hope that we win of course but if your Lions win, please go on and win it all. Being a fan of the game, I love how great these teams are playing, and hoping for a great game!
Thanks...
A Super Bowl Win would/will be Amazing !!!
🦁🏈💪
Rachelsan, what do you mean if? lol
@@xer0Hacklions are a well oiled machine, but Jayden’s the king of clutch 💯
This is up there with the Wolverines NCAAF National championship level of excitement. This is going to be so good.
It's only going to get better.
Give me my GOT DAMN SEWELL TOUCHDOWN
GET A WINNNNNNNN GO LIONS
DAN MILLER THE GOAT!! FIRST TEAM ALL PRO
I love Gibbs, but have people not seen Montgomery busting through the line and powering on through a crowd of defenders? They're both great, and if we want Gibbs to be his best, handing the ball to Monte is our best move! How quickly folks forget!
It's not just purchased line why we are so great it is OUR GRIT the way this team is built Dan Campbell Our coaches and the way our players believe in each other
Colts fan here. What the Lions have accomplished in the last few years is incredible. Hope the Lions get to the Superbowl.
Ford Field will be the game changer. Daniels is good but this will be completely different on Saturday night
Baker looked fine and so did Josh Allen. It’s football. Ford field is just another stadium.
We’re winning this game and rolling into the NFC championship game at HOME. We’re the better team, need to play smart, mistake-free ball, period. Let’s ride!
Commanders this, Commanders That!
Going GOT THIS!
What the heck is a "commander" anyway?
@@TWebs11-11you’re going to find out.
@@InHellBaby1 fraud team bro... you're setting yourself up for pain like vikings fans did if you think you can beat detroit. we're not some bum team. we are the 1 seed
@@InHellBaby1doubt it
Hope the Lions win for my Birthday Gift 🎁🎁🎉🎉
If we receive the ball first and score a TD on the first drive and especially using the run game, we have a higher chance of winning the game.
That's why I think teams should always take the ball first instead of deferring. If you score first you are essentially shortening the game AND getting spotted seven points. Or even three. Obviously that gives anyone a better chance to win.
Idk why it seems like the lions never score a TD when they receive ball first
Definitely stops sometimes, but i believe that the initial drive is ben johnson showing a look the other team was prepared for, then the next drive audible off and start murking em @NoHesiReacts
I always lean toward getting the ball in the second half as opposed to getting it to start the game, a lot of times we’re cold to start and it’s basically a waste of a possession
Bro we always differ so don’t worry 😂😂😂
Dan!
...i wish we had drafted Mikey Sanristil, he's gonna be a great player in the league!!
He already is as a rookie. I’m a commanders fan and watching him grow this season has been awesome. Such a smart football player. He will be an all pro in this league one day. Hopefully sooner rather than later. Good luck tomorrow!
Let's go boys!!! All the way!!!
If you take a look at the top 4 rounds of draft picks from 2021 to 2024 it is just hit, after hit, after hit, after hit!!!
This may be pro football, the Lions have to keep an eye on Daniel's playing his college style of football. Though I still expect the Lions to beat them 34 to 17
Agree two score + win, teams just are at two different levels
Put your money where your mouth is?
Lions 54. Commandets 9
GAURANTEED !!!
Go lions go !!!
Daniels is good but he’s also this season’s shiny object. He is still human, he has his breaking point; the Lions will expose it.
In that opening game, lots of what ifs: what if Mayfield hadn’t fumbled?; what if that ball would have thunked to the right? The ending might have been different, and everyone would now be saying that the pressure of the big stage was too much for the rookie.
😂😂😂
I liked Washington as a kid too for a while.
I remember the first time I was on a broadcast and I pounded my hands on the table. Who is this rookie?
Will The Lions wear the black uniforms ? Just asking in advance .
They cant wear them in the playoffs. Probably wear the all blue uniforms
Nope, expect to see the blueberries
@@justincarrier1330 hail the almighty Blueberries!! King of the north!
Yeah well I hope he stays cool calm and collected as they're walking off the field after we beat them 😂
I hope someone makes an edit highlighting our story featuring the song "Beautiful" by Eminem and then transitioning into "Lose Yourself" (or another fight song) and finally ending with something high flying and happy and high BPM
Im over hearing how great Jayden Daniels is, but everyone picks the Lions to win. It makes no sense.
Jayden Daniels is a really good QB but the rest of his team isn't good enough to beat the lions
JD is special but our whole team and organization is special. It’s just media hype
This is a team sport, it makes perfect sense
yeah, it's almost like there's 21 other players that have to play decent too(not counting ST)
yea bc it only takes a qb to win a game its not like the they defense haven’t struggled stopping the run game and it’s not like lion have the best offense in the league rn and the best running game it totally makes no sense 😱🫢
Its the same old song and dance. They did it all against darnold. Rinse and repeat. The vikings were a better team IMO then commanders minus daniels
Agree. Better defense, better offense, Unfortunately, for Minnesota the wheels fell off the QB from pressure. I won't be surprised if the rookie folds the same way in a big game.
Let the dark horse ride 2mrw night ! HAILLLLL
Daniels can't run if he's lying on his back after getting sacked!!! Enough said!!
...and he'll have a hard time completing passes when he's confused by Aaron Glenn's defense!
@@KarenParker-f8g JD seen great defenses yours is not gonna be any different😂
As a 49ers fan Lions gonna blow out the Commanders. Daniels is special but I can’t compare Tampa to Detroit
Daniels is the reason this team won 8 more games than last year. But they could have as easily lost the last 6 games in the last minute so it’s a crap shot. Good luck next year
You guys have 8 1 score games so it can go either way for a majority of NFL teams for close to half of their games
Lions 45 commanders 20 time to BEAT the commanders
Yessir
LFG LIONS!!!!!
I love Dan, and I love Tim, but can we PLEASE get the microphone moved off the table? Everytime someone touches the table it pounds in my ear. Please! And GO LIONS!
Get the reporters in the press conferences with coaches and players a mic, not hearing their questions is beyond ridiculous
HAIL JAYDEN
Yo can Gibbs start his Owen TH-cam channel y’all nice but like Gibbs
How does Washington have teams that were named Redskins and Bullets? Lol
Let's come home dan miller come on back home😂httc
Browns fan here. I hope the Lions have a repeat of last season. "So close but yet so far."
Somebody’s salty that the sex pest that they signed to a guaranteed deal is a massive turd.
Watch them lose and blame it on the hex from bobby lane
Twentyman speaks in broad generalities hes not qualified to talk football
I totally disagree!
That comment couldn't be further from the truth.
Ridiculous statement, his job is to take a very technical game and make it relatable for the average fan, you want him speaking schemes and dynamics only??
Wooooooo
FTC
Lions have NEVER beat Wash in the playoffs…..Simmer down!
Commanders will win
How so?
HTTR
Tim bad tho
This is the Lion's peak. After they lose Saturday to the Commanders they will lose their coordinators and NEVER reach the Super Bowl in your lifetime.
Was a good run lions, but we lose here
WASHINGTON IS GOING TO HAVE LIONS FOR DINNER
I think we will lose this game
-Commander fan
The Lions better knock my Commanders out Cause if it's by DECISION the Lions Lose 😮
