Washington Commanders defensive end Dorance Armstrong finds Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff for an 11-yard loss.

Former Kansas football player Dorance Armstrong was at the center of a pair of significant plays in Saturday’s playoff action, boosting the Washington Commanders toward their upset win over the top-seeded Detroit Lions.

Washington Commanders defensive end Dorance Armstrong's edge rush attempt gets home on Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff forcing a fumble which was recovered by Commanders linebacker Frankie Luvu.

The Detroit Lions worked all season to earn the NFC's top seed and ensure they wouldn't have to play anywhere but Ford Field until the Super Bowl.

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff was at his worst, while Commanders' Jayden Daniels continued his ascent to the top of the NFL in playoff upset.

After the Commanders took a 17-14 lead, Goff threw a pick-six to Quan Martin. On the return, Goff took a big hit from Frankie Luvu and briefly exited the game. Upon returning, he was picked off in the end zone by Mike Sainristil.

The Jared Goff chant was born that night, and in the year since, would go on to spring up at Lions road games, and Pistons games, and a high school cheerleading competition, and a Green Day concert.

The Commanders extended their magical season by bringing the Lions' special run to an end in an NFC divisional-round playoff stunner.
