The Detroit Lions won their first playoff game in more than three decades on Sunday, outlasting the Los Angeles Rams to secure a 24–23 victory.
After both offenses traded heavy blows in the first half, the defenses settled in as the game came to a close, leading to a thrilling finish.
With seven minutes to play in the fourth quarter, the Rams got the ball back deep inside their own territory, needing just a field goal to take the lead. Matthew Stafford and company were able to get the ball past midfield and right to the edge of field goal range, thanks in part to a historic night from rookie wide receiver Puka Nacua.
