The Detroit Lions were close but not close enough against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 1. This week, they'll look to get more than a moral victory against the Washington Commanders.
The Lions are favored in a game for the first time since 2020, but that line has shrunk as the week has gone on. The Lions will be without All-Pro center Frank Ragnow, and might be without another other key piece to the offensive line as well in left guard Jonah Jackson. Running back D'Andre Swift could be limited by an ankle injury.
One thing the Lions will be happy to see this week is a quarterback who isn't very mobile in Washington's Carson Wentz.
