All-Pro offensive tackle Sewell estimates he replayed Detroit 's heartbreaking loss to the San Francisco 49ers.

Sewell has played 1,115 offensive snaps this season , which ties him with Joel Bitonio for the most among all offensive linemen.

The Lions ' 15-2 season set a franchise record for victories in a regular season and earned its first 1 -seed in the NFL playoffs.

Detroit plays Washington in the NFC divisional round at Ford Field ( 8 p.m. ET , Fox ).

The Lions set a goal at the beginning of the season to become the No. 1 seed.

Coach Dan Campbell preached it throughout camp about how important that was for us.

Having that first week off for the playoffs definitely helped. We needed that rest. We had a lot of injuries, so it just gave us some time for those guys to come back fresh.
