Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions host Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC Divisional Playoffs from Ford Field in Detroit, Mich.
The teams met in Week 6, with Detroit topping Tampa Bay, 20-6, at Raymond James Stadium. Goff passed for a season-high 353 yards and two touchdowns in the win, while Mayfield threw for 206 yards. Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown had a game-high 12 receptions for 124 yards and a touchdown.
The Lions and Buccaneers were division rivals in the NFC Central from 1977-2001 before the teams split off into the NFC North and NFC South, respectively. In those 24 seasons, the two teams met in the postseason only once: a 20-10 Buccaneers Wild Card win in the 1997 season in what was the franchise's final game at Tampa Stadium.
