In the NFC wild-card round on Sunday night, the third-seeded Detroit Lions will take on the sixth-seeded Los Angeles Rams at Ford Field. For a few reasons, this is one of the most anticipated playoff meetings.
First of all, with 32 years without an NFL postseason victory under their belt, the Lions hold the longest losing streak in the league among the 32 clubs. The Lions have also missed seven seasons of postseason action, with their most recent appearance coming on January 7, 2017, when they were defeated 26-6 by the Seattle Seahawks.

He will now want to eliminate the team that brought him to the league in the first round of the playoffs. Stafford made the switch to the Rams in 2021 after spending the first 12 seasons of his professional career with the Lions. After that, in his first season in Los Angeles, the seasoned quarterback went on to win a Super Bowl.
The fact that the Lions will benefit from playing on home soil is undoubtedly what they will be most excited about for their encounter with the Rams. The last time Detroit hosted a playoff game, it ended in a devastating 28-24 loss to the Green Bay Packers in the 1993 campaign.
If Detroit can get a win against the Rams, it will set up a divisional round matchup with one of the Philadelphia Eagles, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, or Dallas Cowboys.
