With Super Wild Card Weekend behind us, eight teams remain in the hunt for the Super Bowl title. Jay Croucher breaks down the matchups.
The Detroit Lions finally won their first playoff game since 1991 on Saturday. Now, they’re looking to reach their first NFC Championship Game in more than 30 years.
To get there, they will need to win another home game, this time against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC divisional round.
Jared Goff and the third-seeded Lions advanced to the divisional round with a thrilling wild card victory over the Los Angeles Rams. Baker Mayfield, a fellow former No. 1 overall draft pick, and the Bucs moved on with a dominant wild card beatdown against the Philadelphia Eagles.
The two teams have already met once this season with the Lions earning a 20-6 win in Tampa Bay. The stakes are much higher this time around, as the winner will face the No. 1 San Francisco 49ers or No. 7 Green Bay Packers next week with a spot in Super Bowl LVIII on the line.
