WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Detroit Lions remained unbeaten Sunday, defeating the Washington Commanders 34–17 behind a sharp performance from quarterback Jared Goff and a ferocious defensive showing from Jack Campbell.
Goff threw for 321 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions, spreading the ball to Isaac TeSlaa, Jameson Williams and Sam LaPorta, while Jahmyr Gibbs added a key rushing touchdown. Detroit jumped out to an early lead, briefly gave way to Washington, but finished the game strong, outscoring the home team 17–7 after halftime.
Linebacker Jack Campbell led the defense with 15 tackles, two tackles for loss, and a sack, earning a game ball alongside Goff. Coach Dan Campbell praised both players in the postgame press conference.
“Jared was outstanding,” Campbell said. “He kept us moving, made the throws we needed, and didn’t beat us with mistakes. Game ball to him — no doubt about it.”
“Jack’s a leader on and off the field,” Campbell added. “Those numbers tell part of the story, but the way he rallies the guys, communicates, and reads the offense — that’s why we handed him a game ball. It’s about production and leadership.”
The Lions’ defense also forced two turnovers and held Washington to just 2-of-9 on third-down conversions. Time of possession favored Detroit at 33:43, allowing the team to control the tempo in the second half.
Campbell also emphasized the importance of staying focused as Detroit (9-0) prepares for next week’s road matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles (7-2) on Sunday Night Football.
“Philly’s a big challenge — they’re tough, physical, and they’ll bring it,” Campbell said. “We’ve got to go back to work, study the tape, stay disciplined, and execute. One game at a time, one win at a time.”
The Lions continue their unbeaten streak, proving they are serious contenders in the NFC and maintaining momentum heading into a pivotal stretch of the season.
Dan Campbell locker room speech:
“Hey, listen up, listen up! (pounds chest) That’s how you win on the road, men. That’s how you take down an 8-1 football team in their own house. We played physical, we played smart, and we finished. That’s Detroit Lions football!
Now — we don’t get here without our quarterback. Jared Goff was lights out. Twenty-six completions, over 320 yards, three touchdowns, no turnovers. He kept us moving all day, making throws, taking shots, and controlling the game. (hands Goff the ball) Game ball right here!
And how about this defense? You want to talk about tone-setters? Jack Campbell. (players cheer) Fifteen tackles, two tackles for loss, a sack. That’s not just numbers, that’s leadership, that’s toughness, that’s doing it every damn down. Jack, get in here! (hands ball) Game ball!
Men, we’re 9-0. That’s special. But it only means something if we keep stacking them. Next week, Philly. That’s another heavyweight fight. They’re gonna bring it, and so are we. We’re not backing down from anybody.
We keep grinding, we keep punching, and we keep proving it. One game at a time, one win at a time. You guys with me?! (locker room erupts)
One Pride on three!
