The Detroit Lions (1-1) picked up its first victory of the preseason, topping the Washington Commanders (1-1) on Saturday afternoon from Ford Field, 17-13.
Detroit fell behind 7-0 early when Lions quarterback Josh Dobbs was sacked and fumbled. The Commanders' Joshua Josephs recovered the football in the end zone.
But, Dobbs would respond with a 50-yard touchdown run, Lions running back Trayveon Williams had a 1-yard rushing touchdown and Jake Bates tacked on a 37-yard field goal.
Afterwards, Lions head coach Dan Campbell shared his thoughts on the preseason victory:
"We got off to a shaky start, but then overcame it. I thought defense played good football. Really good football, man. Disruptive, got us some stops there and got us back in it and then we capitalized on offense. Really for the most part, third down and fourth down were obviously good for us.
