The Detroit Lions hosted their first playoff game in 30 years last weekend and, after squeaking by the Rams 24-23, have earned a second game in front of their home fans. Heading to Detroit for the Divisional Round are the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who had a surprisingly easy time knocking out the Eagles in the wild-card round.
The game will feature a pair of top overall picks at quarterback who have found success on a team other than the one that drafted them. Jared Goff was the first pick in the 2016 draft and just beat the team that drafted him while helping the Lions snap a nine-game playoff losing streak. Baker Mayfield went first overall in the 2018 draft and is now on his fourth team, replacing none other than Tom Brady in Tampa. In his first season as a Buccaneer, he led the team to a division title and now has the Bucs two wins away from the Super Bowl.
The Buccaneers and Lions kick off on Sunday at 3 p.m. ET (12 p.m. PT) on NBC and Peacock.
Baker Mayfield threw for 337 yards and three touchdowns in the Bucs convincing 32-9 victory over reigning NFC champions the Philadelphia Eagles last Monday.
