DETROIT – The scene was unlike any that’s been seen in the Ford Field home locker room. The Lions were in various states of anger, disbelief and frustration after their 45-31 home loss to the Commanders on Saturday night in the divisional round of the playoffs. Here’s what several Lions players had to say in the locker room after that loss:

Inside a quiet, dejected locker room, the Detroit Lions looked shocked and talked about feeling numb after the Washington Commanders stunned them.

Frank Ragnow stared into the distance. His eyes were glazed over, like he was stuck in a dream. Saturday night turned into a nightmare for the Lions.

In the aftermath of the Lions’ shocking exit in the divisional round of the playoffs, Dan Campbell could only mask his emotions for long.

“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.”

The Lions had five turnovers and couldn't stop Jayden Daniels and the Commanders' offense in divisional-round loss.

Step aside, 49ers fans. There’s a new poster child for NFL heartbreak. The 49ers — franchise and followers together — have spent the past year wallowing in their own special flavor of postseason pain: the hurt of coming from ahead to lose another Super Bowl to the same opponent for the second time in five years,
