Dan Campbell discussed the excitement of the unknown with reporters on Monday as the Lions prepare to host the Washington Commanders in Saturday’s divisional round at Ford Field. Washington is an unfamiliar opponent for Detroit, and Campbell noted that the uncertainty adds a unique element to the matchup.

The average ticket price for Saturday's Lions vs. Commanders game are already setting NFL records as the most expensive in league history.

“The game between the Commanders and Lions has all the makings of a high-demand matchup - a team that just won its first playoff game since 2006 competing against America’s favorite team. It’s the hottest ticket of the weekend by far, nearly tripling the sales of the other divisional round games," said Adam Budelli, a StubHub spokesperson.

The Lions' defense has been decimated by injuries, but what reinforcements are on the way in the divisional round?

David Montgomery is gearing up for a return to the field, right in time for the Detroit Lions' first playoff game. The running back has missed time since mid-December when he suffered a knee injury in Detroit's loss to the Buffalo Bills.
