Claim 1: “Team insider JP Finlay previews Saturday’s preseason game.”

SINGLE SOURCE

The evidence provided mentions JP Finlay previewing a 'Week 2 Matchup' against the Commanders on YouTube, but it does not specify that this was a 'preseason game' nor that it was scheduled for 'Saturday'. Other search results discuss the NHL, which is irrelevant. There is no evidence confirming the specific timing or nature (preseason) of the preview mentioned in the claim.

Claim 2: “Last time the Commanders visited Detroit, they came away with a playoff win.”

SINGLE SOURCE

One web search result (TikTok) mentions 'Washington Commanders victory highlights' and 'NFL divisional round summary' regarding a game against the Lions. However, the other provided sources (Washington Post, Sportskeeda, and Wikipedia) provide general team information or season overviews without confirming the specific result of the most recent visit to Detroit. Because only one non-authoritative source mentions the victory, it cannot be corroborated.
