The Detroit Lions had a very fun and emotional night at Ford Field on Sunday when they won a playoff game for time in 30 years. Here’s the even more fun part of it all, they’re going to be back at Ford Field for another potentially fun and emotional night next Sunday. We now know who they will face.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the Philadelphia Eagles 32-9 and they will now play the Lions at Ford Field at 3:00 PM ET this Sunday on NBC.
The Bucs fought hard in a very tight NFC South race to get to this point. They had a 1-6 run after the bye before winning five of their last six games to clinch the divsion title and the playoff spot. I a game where Todd Bowles was potentially coaching for his job, the Bucs pulled off a big upset over an Eagles team that, at one point, was considered to be the class of the NFC.
The Lions faced the Bucs back in Week 6 and the Lions were able to win that game 20-6. Can they do that again on Sunday and head to the NFC Championship game? We’ll see at 3:00.
