From 1982 until 1991, the Commanders played in a total of five conference title games and four Super Bowls during a span that ended with three Lombardi Trophies. However, after losing to the Lions in the NFC title game to end their 1991 season, the Commanders didn't make it back to the NFC Championship until beating Detroit on Saturday night.

A first-round bye, back-to-back division titles and a franchise-record 15 wins for the Lions will not result in the Super Bowl glory this franchise and their fans have waited for.

In a disastrous 45-31 loss to the Washington Commanders on Saturday, the Detroit Lions watched their best regular season in franchise history go to waste.
