The Detroit Lions are going to San Francisco for a date with the 49ers in the NFC Championship Game.
The Lions downed the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday at raucous Ford Field.
The final was 31-23 and the game was in question until Baker Mayfield threw a pass that Derrick Barnes intercepted late in the game.

It sealed the victory and Dan Campbell’s team is headed for the Bay Area with a chance to make it to the Lions’ first Super Bowl.
The last time the Lions made an NFC Championship Game was 1991 and they lost to Washington, 41-20.
