Ahead of the Detroit Lions’ Saturday showdown with the Washington Commanders in the NFL playoffs (8 p.m., FOX), Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has invited residents to submit their best artistic interpretations of the team’s logo, with a chance to be featured on the governor’s social media pages.

“The Lions have captured our hearts and made us all hopeful for a Super Bowl this year,” Whitmer said in a statement. “Join me in rooting them on by submitting your version of the team logo. Let’s show the Lions that we got their backs as they enter the playoffs.” 

Residents are invited to submit their drawings of the Lions’ logo at michigan.gov/onepride.

Detroit, for the first time in the franchise’s history, earned the top seed in the conference, getting a bye week and home field advantage in the playoffs. Detroit won its second straight NFC North division title in 2024, finishing with a 15-2 record. They’ll host Washington, who is fresh off a 23-20 road win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Wild Card round.

The winner will advance to the NFC Championship game, the same stage the Lions fell in the playoffs last year against the San Francisco 49ers. In the other NFC Divisional round matchup, the Philadelphia Eagles are hosting the Los Angeles Rams.
