Jared Goff threw for 320 yards and three touchdowns without absorbing a single sack. Jahmyr Gibbs carried 15 times for 142 yards and scored three times — twice on the ground, once through the air. Detroit never punted. The Lions won 44–22 at Northwest Stadium on November 9, 2025, with Dan Campbell calling the plays himself after pulling the responsibility from offensive coordinator John Morton mid-week. Washington started Marcus Mariota in place of the injured Jayden Daniels and played without wide receiver Terry McLaurin. The Commanders were outgained 546 to 288 total yards and did not sack Goff once.

Washington gave up 6.8 yards per carry and allowed Goff to throw 35 times without a single sack — numbers that trace directly to a 22-point deficit Detroit built before halftime. It was the Commanders’ fifth straight loss and fourth in a row by at least 21 points, dropping them to 3-7 while Detroit moved to 6-3 and maintained the NFL’s longest active streak of avoiding back-to-back regular-season defeats, a run that had held since October 2022.
