The Detroit Lions created history in the NFL as they registered their first playoff win since the year 1991. It was their first in more than three decades! The fans had no options except to go into tears mode after seeing their beloved team make it to the next round of the postseason.

In a much-anticipated playoff clash, the Lions had a faceoff against the Los Angeles Rams, a team that had a consistent run in this season. The Lions, on the other hand, had a great season as well. They started the season by beating the Kansas City Chiefs in a neck-to-neck battle and finished it off well.

Apart from a dying-second controversial defeat against the Dallas Cowboys, the Detroit franchise had everything going for them this season.

The Rams vs the Lions was a thrilling encounter as it had everything that a playoff game could have asked for. The pendulum swung between two sides quite often. The Lions took a hefty 14-3 lead in the first quarter which had a decisive role in the game.
