0:26.0	Washington commanders begin their practice week for their game against the 5-3 Detroit Lions at Northwest Stadium.
0:31.8	This Sunday afternoon of 425 and week 10 of the NFL's 2025 regular season. Now, the commanders during the practice on Wednesday afternoon played music as they sometimes do,
0:42.3	and one of the songs that was played was Don't Stop Believing by Journey.
