After not winning a playoff game in 33 years, the Detroit Lions are on the heels of winning their second one of the year.
The Lions were able to hold off a late push by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the divisional round. After a close shave against the Rams prior, Lions and their fans ae hoping for a little more comfort in the NFC championship game.
Their next game will be against the top seed in the NFC, the San Francisco 49ers. The winner of that game, of course, will head onto the Super Bowl on February 11.
Funny to think that a team that went 0-16 just 15 years ago is just 60 minutes away from the Super Bowl, potentially.
