The Detroit Lions celebrated a historic 31-9 victory over the Minnesota Vikings, securing their first-ever No. 1 seed in the NFL playoffs and home-field advantage throughout the NFC. This achievement marks the Lions' back-to-back division titles, a feat they have not accomplished before. Quarterback Jared Goff expressed pride in their season record of 15-2 and emphasized that this is just the beginning of their playoff journey.

With the win, the Lions will host the lowest-seeded team still in contention during the divisional round, scheduled for January 18 or 19. If they win that matchup, they will be just one game away from reaching the Super Bowl, a goal that has eluded the franchise since its establishment.
