In the hours before their Divisional Round matchup at Ford Field, the Detroit Lions and Washington Commanders are rehearsing.
After winning the NFC bye, the Lions enter the game as the favorites, but they are aware that they must perform at their highest level if they hope to defeat the Commanders, who are headed by rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels.
Brian Branch, a defensive back with the Lions, described some of the tactics his team will use to try to restrict Daniels.
According to NFL.com writer Kevin Patra, Branch stated, “You have to shrink the pocket.” “In college, I played Jayden Daniels.
He is a superb quarterback. He makes me think of Lamar (Jackson). Just his movements and such, but that seems like the main strategy to me.
Simply making him make those throws by making his pocket smaller.”

Daniels is aware that the Lions defense will try to surprise him, but if he can handle the pressure like he has this season, the Commanders will have a chance to pull off the upset.
