The Detroit Lions’ 2025 playoff journey came to an abrupt halt with a shocking 45-31 defeat to the Washington Commanders in the NFL Divisional Round—an outcome few expected. The Lions’ defense, led by then-coordinator Aaron Glenn, struggled due to multiple injuries, leading to a disappointing performance at home. The game started on a rough note for Detroit when standout cornerback Amik Robertson suffered a broken arm while tackling Commanders receiver Terry McLaurin on just the second defensive play.

On Wednesday, Robertson made a bold declaration for the 2025 season to his 35,000-plus followers on X, expressing his confidence in having his best year yet. “God say the same… This year will be my best year of my NFL career.. I’m claiming it,” he posted, along with a “Goodmorning” message and a meditation emoji.

Robertson joined the Lions after four seasons with the Las Vegas Raiders and quickly became a key player in Glenn’s secondary. He notably limited Minnesota Vikings star Justin Jefferson to just three catches for 54 yards in Detroit’s NFC North-clinching 31-9 victory on January 5, 2025. Last season, he ranked ninth in the NFL in forced fumbles with three.

At 5-foot-9 and 183 pounds, Robertson played with relentless energy, setting the tone for Detroit’s defense. He now looks to continue that impact under new defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard next season.
