The Detroit Lions notched their first win of the 2022 season, impressively beating back the visiting Washington Commanders 36-27 in Week 2. The Lions raced out to a 22-0 halftime lead and withstood a big rally, pulling out the home win to even their record at 1-1.
This game had a little of everything for the Lions. They ran the ball for almost 200 yards, while QB Jared Goff threw four touchdown passes. Rookie DE Aidan Hutchinson bagged three sacks in the first half. Detroit’s defense even recorded the first safety in a home game since 2016.
