Led by quarterback Jared Goff, the Detroit Lions secured a 24-23 victory over the Los Angeles Rams in the wild-card round of the playoffs, marking their first home playoff win since 1991. The game was notable as it was former Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford\'s return to Detroit. The Lions will now face the winner of the Philadelphia Eagles vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers matchup in the divisional round. Defensive end Aidan Hutchinson had a standout performance with two sacks and four QB hits. However, the Lions\' secondary struggled, giving up two touchdown passes from Stafford.
