The Detroit Lions’ greatest season ever is over. The Washington Commanders had every answer Saturday night.

The Lions turned the ball four times, including a fumble and pick-six from Jared Goff and a trick play that ended with a season-crushing Jameson Williams interception, as Jayden Daniels and the Commanders silenced the Ford Field crowd in a shocking 45-31 upset.

Washington (14-5) moves onto the NFC championship game next Sunday for the first time since 1991, at either the Philadelphia Eagles or Los Angeles Rams.

The Lions (15-3) go home after a best-ever 15-2 regular season and their first-ever No. 1 seed. A win would have given them their first chance to host an NFC title game. They are only NFC team never to reach the Super Bowl.

Hulk Hogan fans will have the chance to buy some special merchandise of their favorite wrestler as the WWE is celebrating the 40th anniversary of Hulkamania.

Hogan is one of the biggest names in the history of the wrestling business, helping WWE take flight as the leading wrestling promotion in the world for the last several decades under Vince McMahon.

Hogan first held the WWE Title in 1984 and last won it in 2002. In addition to all of his accolades in WWE, he also helped spark the Monday Night Wars, the hottest period in the history of the business between WCW and WWE when he formed the NWO with Kevin Nash and Scott Hall in the late 90s.

Hogan began to slow down his in-ring schedule in 2003, when he would work sparingly and later had a run in TNA Wrestling. Look for Hogan to make new TV appearances as the company celebrates the anniversary.
