Lions DB Terrion Arnold takes out frustration of playoff upset on Madden 25
Terrion Arnold let it all out once he got home from the Lions’ loss in the NFC Divisional on Saturday.
Following the 45-31 season-ending loss at home for Detroit, the No. 1 seed in the NFC, to Washington, Arnold got on the sticks to settle the score virtually. He did so by running up a score of 103-0 over the Commanders in the first quarter on Madden.
The Lions earned the conference’s top seed with an overall record of 15-2 out of the NFC North. They earned that berth in the final game of the season with the playoffs on that side of the bracket set to run through Ford Field.
However, Washington pulled the upset on them on the road. The Commanders scored 31 in the first half, behind a 28-point second quarter, and 14 more in the fourth quarter to hang the second-most points of the year on the Lions’ defense. They won time of possession and, with that, posted 481 yards of offense with QB Jayden Daniels having 350 total with two passing scores while RB Brian Robinson Jr. rushed for 77 yards and two more touchdowns on the ground. Washington also forced five turnovers on defense with four interceptions, one being a pick-six, and a fumble recovery.

That now sends Washington to the NFC Championship where they’ll play the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday for a spot in Super Bowl LIX. That ended one of the best seasons in Lions’ history, especially in the modern era, in very disappointing fashion too with no postseason wins to add to their fifteen out of seventeen in the regular season.
As for Arnold, he finished the actual game this weekend with six tackles for Detroit’s defense.
It’s going to be a long offseason in The Motor City to get over this loss by the Lions. That includes for Arnold too in his first season as a pro. Next year, he’ll try to get back there in real life rather than online.
