Lions playoff schedule: Detroit will host Commanders next Saturday night

Get ready for some postseason football at Ford Field next weekend. After waiting through the bye week to find out the opponent for the NFC Divisional Round game, the Lions will host the Washington Commanders.

The game will be played Saturday night with an 8 p.m. ET kickoff.

The NFL announced the division round schedule after Sunday night’s game between Washington and Tampa Bay, the only competitive game of the Wild Card Weekend thus far. Washington banked in a game-winning field goal as time expired to bear Tampa Bay, 23-20. It was the Commanders first postseason win since 2005.

Monday night’s game between the Rams and Vikings, which will be played in Arizona due to the wildfires in the Los Angeles area, will determine the final matchup of the divisional round bracket. The winner will play at Philadelphia, easy winners over Green Bay earlier on Sunday.
