5 things to watch: Lions at Commanders

The Detroit Lions are looking to get back to their winning ways today in Washington against the Commanders. Detroit has won their last 12 games coming off a loss and haven’t dropped back-to-back contests since October of 2022.

Here are five things to watch out for in today’s matchup:

Quarterback Jared Goff was sacked a season-high five times last week in a loss to Minnesota and he was hit 11 times total as the Vikings were credited with 26 total pressures in that contest.

Minnesota took advantage of some protection breakdowns and mismatches and to their credit schemed up some nice pressure packages Detroit didn’t handle well. Detroit rushed for just 65 yards and Minnesota also racked up 10 tackles for loss.

“Sunday wasn’t up to our standard at all,” All-Pro right tackle Penei Sewell said this week “One of our worst performances and we just have to be better in terms of throughout the week communications-wise and game-plan-wise and we have to come together at the end of the day and be on the same page.”

Washington ranks 12th in the NFL with 22 sacks but their leading sacker, Dorance Armstrong Jr. (5.5), was recently placed on injured reserve. Edge rusher Jacob Martin has 3.5 sacks on the year.

Utah beats Detroit 4-1 for 8th win in last 10 home games

SALT LAKE CITY — Nick Schmaltz and Clayton Keller had a goal and an assist each, Karel Vejmelka made 29 saves, and the Utah Mammoth beat the Detroit Red Wings 4-1 on Wednesday night.

Sean Durzi and Dylan Guenther also had goals for Utah, helping the Mammoth improve to 8-1-1 on their home ice since the start of January.

Schmaltz tallied his 23rd goal of the season, matching a season-high set in the 2021-22 season with Arizona. He trails only Guenther, who has 25, in goals scored for Utah this season.

Dylan Larkin scored for the Red Wings, who lost for the fourth time in five games. John Gibson made 21 stops for Detroit.

Durzi snapped in the puck from near the boards 57 seconds into the game. His unassisted goal was the fastest goal scored by the Mammoth on their home ice this season.

Schmaltz doubled Utah’s lead at the 8:11 of the first, scoring on a power play. Guenther tacked on another unassisted goal for Utah at the 4:40 of the third period. He stayed a step ahead of Mason Appleton on a breakaway and then sent a well-timed wrist shot around Gibson’s side.

Larkin snapped in the puck with 4:08 to play to make it 3-1. It was his 26th goal of the season.
