Detroit will host two playoff games in one postseason for the first time in franchise history when they host the Buccaneers on Sunday. Dan Campbell led the Lions to a 1-point win over the Los Angeles Rams (24-23), and earned the franchise’s first playoff win in 32 years. Los Angeles tried to make up the difference with field goals, but was unable to kick their way to victory.

The Bucs won for the sixth time in seven games when they demolished the Eagles 32-9. They were at home in the Wild Card Round, and now face a change of venue and enter as 6.5-point underdogs. Baker Mayfield led the team with three touchdowns after throwing for 337 yards.

For Tampa Bay, the Playoffs are a huge shot at redemption. They’ve already beaten the Eagles — who beat them 25-11 earlier this season — and now they face the Lions. Detroit handed Tampa Bay a 20-6 defeat in October. A win could still put them on a Super Bowl LVIII collision course with the Buffalo Bills, who beat them 24-18 on October 26.
