“It’ll probably bother me forever, honestly,” Lions left tackle Taylor Decker said of his team’s 45-31 loss to the Washington Commanders. “I’m walking up here in the locker room and you gotta hear them cheer. And rightfully so for them. They deserve to cheer. We just have to sit here and listen to it.”

Early signs of stuggle, including three first-half turnovers, put a damper on the mood, but tight end Sam LaPorta’s heroic endzone grab and a clutch 61-yard run from Jameson Williams gave fans plenty to cheer about.
