As the Washington Commanders gear up for their Saturday showdown with the Detroit Lions, the team amplifies their spirit with Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” blasting through the speakers.
The Washington Commanders are set for a big divisional round showdown against the Detroit Lions on Saturday, January 18, at Ford Field in Detroit. The Commanders come in as the No. 6 seed, finishing the regular season 12-5 and taking down the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 23-20 in the wild-card round.
The Lions, on the other hand, are the No. 1 seed with a strong 15-2 record, and they earned a bye in the first round as NFC North champions. They are favoured by 9.5 points in this matchup, according to bookies.
But the Commanders are bringing the energy. During practice, they have been spotted blasting Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” — a nod to the Detroit legend. Eminem is known for being a huge Lions fan. While he will likely be in the stands supporting his team, the Commanders are not shy about embracing the song closely tied to Detroit.
The team is probably sending a message that they are ready to take on the challenge, no matter how big. Music has a way of crossing into every corner of life, including sports, and the Commanders are hoping that “Lose Yourself” helps them seize the moment and pull off an upset. Maybe so, but the Detroit energy is too strong with this one!
Early vibes. Eminem! Yep they got one shot. Seize the moment. pic.twitter.com/71ltk9XuzC
