The Detroit Lions beat Tampa Bay to move on to the NFC title game and face the 49ers.

(DETROIT) - The Detroit Lions are a win away from the Super Bowl.

The Lions have now won two consecutive playoff games during the 2023 NFL season. 

In three short seasons, the team went from a three-win team to being one win away from appearing in the Super Bowl.

 

The Lions beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Sunday night, 31-23.  They now face the 49ers in San Francisco Sunday, January 28, 2024.

According to the Lions, the game will be shown on all video boards as well as display screens on the field at Ford Field. A portion of all proceeds from this event will support the Detroit Lions Foundation for Youth & High School Sports. 

Doors will open at 5 p.m. and tickets go on sale via Ticketmaster on Jan. 22 at 3 p.m.

 

On Sunday, Lions quarterback Jared Goff threw his second touchdown pass with 6:22 left.  He took a knee on three straight snaps to run out the clock. 

Jahmyr Gibbs ran through a huge hole for a tiebreaking, 31-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter, and Goff made it a two-TD lead when he connected with Amon-Ra St. Brown for a 9-yard score.

Goff finished 30 of 43 for 287 yards and directed a second-half offense for the Lions, who had long touchdown drives on three consecutive possessions. St. Brown had eight catches for 77 yards, and his TD catch capped a 10-play, 89-yard drive.
