Now that the conference’s wild-card round is complete, the Lions’ next playoff opponent has been announced. The No. 1 seed Lions will face off against the No. 6 seed Washington Commanders in the divisional round of the NFC playoffs next week.

Here’s how the No. 1 seeds in each conference fared in the NFL playoffs under the current system, which started in 2020.

The Detroit Lions are ready to run it back. After a near-flawless 15-2 campaign, the NFC’s No. 1-ranked team will begin their second consecutive march toward postseason glory when they take on the Washington Commanders in the Divisional Round of the playoffs at Detroit’s Ford Field on Saturday, Jan. 18.
