Raymond caught all three of his targets for 37 yards while also adding a 21-yard kick return in Saturday's 45-31 NFC divisional-round playoff loss to the Commanders.
But Detroit got less than it wanted and took a step back from last year's postseason run. The Lions entered the divisional round as Super Bowl favorites, according to BetMGM Sportsbook, and exited with a 45-31 loss to sixth-seeded Washington on Saturday night in front of a stunned and saddened crowd.

The analysis took into account spending expected to happen at Ford Field and at Detroit businesses from Washington Commanders fans who are visiting.
Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels is a star in the making, but the Detroit Lions won't squander the best homefield advantage in football.
Montgomery’s return is the big talking point of the week, and we’ll examine what to expect from that and more in this week’s depth chart projection.
The Detroit Lions came up with a marketing slogan for the playoffs. “We want more.” Those three words were put on a bus that toured the state, visiting fans from the Motor City to the tip of the lower peninsula.
Jayden Daniels was nearly flawless on Saturday night, leading the Commanders to an easy upset of the heavily favored Lions.
Detroit also has many key players under contract for at least two more seasons: Goff, running backs Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery, tight end Sam LaPorta, offensive linemen Taylor Decker and Graham Glasgow, defensive tackle Alim McNeill, linebacker Jack Campbell, safety Brian Branch and cornerback Terrion Arnold.
Former Detroit Lions and current Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford was asked about retirement after the Rams' loss to the Eagles.
The Detroit Lions may have lost cornerback Terrion ... from IR this week — linebacker Alex Anzalone and receiver Kalif Raymond — and both are listed as questionable for Sunday.
