DETROIT (AP) — Jared Goff threw two touchdown passes and the Detroit Lions beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 31-23 in a divisional-round playoff game on Sunday, lifting the long-suffering franchise into the NFC championship for the first time in 32 years and just the second time in franchise history. The Lions (14-5) won two playoff games in a season for the first time since 1957, the last year they won the NFL title. They will play at San Francisco, the NFC's top seed, next Sunday for a spot in the Super Bowl — a game they have never played in. Baker Mayfield threw three TD passes for Tampa Bay (10-9), including a 16-yard toss to Mike Evans that got the Bucs within one score with 4:37 left. The Lions kneeled to run out the clock as their fans stood, screamed and twirled white towels.

The Rams (10-8) had a chance to take the lead late in the fourth quarter, but Detroit’s defense held. The Lions acquired Goff and a pair of first-round picks for Stafford three years ago. Michael Badgley’s season-long, 54-yard field goal gave the Lions a seven-point lead midway through the third quarter. Stafford has made a career of fourth-quarter comebacks, a fact the fans at Ford Field were well aware of. ... RB Kyren Williams had a hand injury in the fourth quarter.

We don’t back down.”The NFC North-leading Lions (8-2) overcame four turnovers, including Goff's season-high three interceptions, and a 12-point deficit late in the fourth quarter to win. “That’s probably a top-five team in the league, maybe top three, and we know we should have beaten them," Fields said. Fields mostly played well in his first game in a month, but slightly overthrew Tyler Scott on a deep pass late in the game on a play that could have potentially help to seal the victory. Fields, who was out with a dislocated right thumb, threw a 39-yard touchdown pass to DJ Moore late in the third quarter. He threw more than two interceptions for the first time since 2019 when he played for the Los Angeles Rams.

Amon-Ra St. Brown had six catches for 71 yards and a score, and Lions rookie Brian Branch returned Patrick Mahomes' first pick in an opener 50 yards for another touchdown as Detroit snapped the Chiefs' eight-game Week 1 winning streak. The Lions were trying to run out the clock when Goff had a fourth-down pass near midfield batted down with 2:30 left, giving the Chiefs a chance. When it fell incomplete and Detroit took over, Montgomery ran for a first down that allowed the Lions to run out the clock. Mahomes finished with 226 yards passing and two touchdowns, despite his receivers dripping a slew of passes. He also was the leading rusher for the Chiefs, whose self-inflicted wounds proved too much to overcome.
