The Detroit Lions have achieved their first playoff victory in 32 years, defeating the Los Angeles Rams with a final score of 24-23. The Lions hosted their first home playoff game in three decades, showcasing a strong offensive performance led by quarterback Jared Goff, who completed 16 of 18 passes for 194 yards and a touchdown. The Lions' offense was effective from the start, with a methodical 75-yard drive resulting in a touchdown by running back David Montgomery and Goff going 5 for 5 for 51 yards on his first drive. Jahmyr Gibbs added a 10-yard touchdown, contributing to a halftime lead of 21-17 over the Rams. Matthew Stafford, the Rams' quarterback, also performed well, throwing for 189 yards and two touchdowns in the first half, including a connection with Sam LaPorta for a touchdown. The Rams managed to score a 24-yard field goal but ultimately fell short. The Lions' win sets the stage for them to host the winner of the Philadelphia Eagles-Tampa Bay Buccaneers matchup in the divisional playoffs.
