The Detroit Lions will play their first-ever playoff game at Ford Field, home of the team. It should be an incredible spectacle, however, not so for most Rams’ fans as QB is set to miss the all-important clash due to a back injury he sustained.
We also have further information on the TV channel, opponent, date, and hour.
Oh my, this is wonderful.
Next Sunday night, the No. 3 seed Lions (12-5) will take on the No. 6 seed Los Angeles Rams (10-7), led by quarterback Matthew Stafford, in the NFC wild-card round. This may be the most anticipated playoff matchup of the six-game schedule as it opens up a ton of delicious storylines.
The Lions, who have lost nine straight playoff games—including their most recent appearance in Seattle seven years ago on January 7, 2017—are desperate to snap their NFL-leading losing streak in the postseason, which now stands at 32 seasons.
They will now play Stafford, who set multiple franchise records while playing for 12 seasons in Detroit and being the team’s first overall choice in 2009. Days after asking for a trade, he was dealt to Los Angeles in January 2021, and in his first season there, he won the Super Bowl.
The Lions’ only playoff victory since 1957, or 66 years, came in 1991 when they defeated the Dallas Cowboys 38–6 at a boisterous Pontiac Silverdome.
The Lions’ most recent home playoff game was a devastating 28-24 loss at the Silverdome against the Green Bay Packers in the 1993 season—one of the team’s 13 most agonizing playoff defeats.
This season, the Rams are 5-4 away from home, while the Lions are 6-2 at home.
