The Washington Commanders are heading to Detroit to face the Lions in their second preseason game on Saturday, August 17. After a 20-7 win over Miami, the team has made a bold decision at kicker, naming undrafted rookie Drew Stevens as the starter over Jake Moody. Stevens drilled a 41-yard field goal against Miami, while Moody's 29-yarder wasn't enough. The game at Ford Field will be a key audition for roster fringe players.
The episode breaks down the matchup and the biggest storylines, including the kicking controversy, the backup quarterback battle, and the crowded receiver room. With Marcus Mariota out with a sprained MCL, Athan Kaliakmanis and Sam Hartman are getting all the reps. Kaliakmanis was sharp last week, going 6 of 10 for 87 yards, and is the frontrunner for the backup job. The receiving corps is stacked with Stefon Diggs, Terry McLaurin, Dyami Brown, and Treylon Burks, leaving little room for fringe players like Jacoby Jones, who led the team with two catches for 33 yards last week. On defense, Ricky Barber got a sack, and Antonio Hamilton Sr. had five tackles, but the unit is thin with Jer'Zhan Newton out after surgery for a torn pec. Other injuries include Rachaad White, Tim Settle, Jordan Magee, and K'Lavon Chaisson, all questionable. The hosts also discuss key players to watch, including Kaytron Allen, who had 23 carries for 85 yards and a touchdown, and give their keys to the game: establish the run, win the turnover battle, and pressure the quarterback. Bold predictions include Stevens hitting a 50-plus-yard field goal and Kaliakmanis throwing for over 150 yards and a touchdown.
