DETROIT, MI — To the cheers of 66,367 fans at Ford Field, the Detroit Lions on Sunday night secured their first playoff win in over 30 years with a shootout win over the LA Rams in the opening round of the NFL playoffs.
After a first-half shootout transitioned into a defensive struggle in the final two quarters, Detroit managed to cling to their one-point lead by killing the remaining few minutes off the clock to nip the Rams 24-23, securing the franchise’s first playoff victory in 32 years.
Detroit now waits to see who wins between the Philadelphia Eagles and Tampa Bay Bucs tonight then will host the winner next Sunday at 3:00 p.m. at Ford Field.
