  "account": "Joshua Dobbs secured a 50-yard touchdown run and led the Detroit Lions to a 17-13 preseason victory over the Washington Commanders on Saturday. The Lions, who played a few starters, held on despite several potential opportunities for turnovers. Jared Goff, Jahmyr Gibbs, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, and Penei Sewell were all absent from the starting lineup. Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels started but struggled early, getting sacked once and throwing an incomplete pass. Rookie Athan Kaliakmanis outplayed the starting quarterbacks, completing 11 of 14 passes for 162 yards. The Commanders took a 7-0 lead after a sack by Amik Robertson and a fumble recovery. Dobbs was intercepted early but responded with a 50-yard touchdown run to tie the game. Washington capitalized on a field goal to lead 10-7. Kaliakmanis drove the Lions down the field, resulting in a 1-yard touchdown by Trayveon Williams and a 14-10 lead. Jake Bates' subsequent field goal narrowed the deficit to 14-13. With 12:02 remaining, Stevens' 32-yard field goal tied the game at 14-14. The Lions, however, secured the win with a 37-yard field goal as time expired.",
