With This Wound Detroit Lions Fans Can We Take This From Jahmyr Gibbs.
After the Commanders upset Gibbs and the Lions 45-31 to reach the NFC Championship Game, Durant clapped back at Gibbs:
Gibbs’ dance came after he scored a touchdown in the first quarter of the Commanders’ playoff game on the road against the Detroit Lions.
The dance in question came just before the Warriors ran out of the tunnel during Game 5 of the 2017 NBA Finals. Perhaps it was good luck, as the Warriors won that game against the Cleveland Cavaliers to secure the NBA Finals title.
Durant posted 39 points, six rebounds and five assists in the victory and grabbed the Finals MVP for the Warriors.
Not the results we wanted but i am truly sorry for letting you down.l gave it all but it wasn’t just enough.
Thank you very much for always supporting me it means more than words to me I will work harder and come back stronger.
Ahead of Saturday’s matchup, Durant predicted a 24-21 Commanders win.
“I got high expectations for us to go out there and play a great brand of Commander football,” Durant told reporters on Thursday. “That’s a good thing to say: we got an identity. I feel like we got an identity as a football team.
We didn’t have that for a long time. I’m excited, it’s going to be a fun game. … Rooting for the guys to get it done.”
If the Commanders win, it will be their first divisional playoff victory since 1991, when they went on to win the Super Bowl against the Buffalo Bills. Durant was just two years old at the time.
