The Detroit Lions defeated the Minnesota Vikings in a thrilling overtime game to secure their second consecutive NFC North title. This victory earns them home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.
The Detroit Lions secured their second consecutive NFC North title with a 31-23 overtime victory against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday night. This win grants them home-field advantage throughout the playoffs, including a much-needed bye week during the first round. Meanwhile, the Vikings will travel to face the NFC West champion. This regular-season finale saw two teams with a combined 28 victories, a rare occurrence. It also marked the third time in over three decades that a No.
1 seed was determined in the final game of the regular season. The Lions are aiming for their first Super Bowl appearance since 1957, hoping to emulate the Giants' 2022 playoff run where they overcame an early loss to reach the NFC Championship game. Detroit's victory was fueled by Jared Goff's performance, who rushed for three touchdowns and passed for another. The game also saw notable performances from the Vikings' quarterback, Kirk Cousins, and the Lions' running back, Amon-Ra St. Brown.
