Live scores, highlights and updates from the Lions vs. Commanders football game

The Detroit Lions will play host again and welcome the Washington Commanders to Ford Field, where kick-off is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET on Sunday. The Lions are expected to win -- but not by much -- so they will need to come into the contest prepared for a fight.

It was close but no cigar for Detroit as they fell 38-35 to the Philadelphia Eagles last week. Despite the defeat, Detroit got a solid performance out of RB D'Andre Swift, who rushed for one TD and 144 yards on 15 carries. Swift's longest run was for 50 yards in the first quarter.

Meanwhile, even if it wasn't a dominant performance, Washington beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 28-22 last week. Washington QB Carson Wentz was slinging it as he passed for four TDs and 313 yards on 41 attempts. Wentz ended up with a passer rating of 152.40.

Washington's win lifted them to 1-0 while Detroit's loss dropped them down to 0-1. We'll find out if Washington can add another positive mark to their record or if Detroit can shake off the defeat and take the spring out of Washington's step.
