Back in February, Donald Trump attended the Super Bowl LIX showdown between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles. Sundays' Week 10 showdown will be the first game he's attended this NFL season.

The Commanders (3-6) will be looking to end their four-game losing streak. However, they will be without their star QB Jayden Daniels, who broke his arm during their 38-14 loss to the Seattle Seahawks last week. However, coach Dan Quinn confirmed that the quarterback will not need surgery to address his broken arm.

On the other hand, coach Dan Campbell and the Lions will be looking to improve on their 5-3 campaign and regain their winning momentum after losing to the Vikings in Week 9.
