In a playoff rematch from last year’s NFC Divisional round, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers visit the Detroit Lions on Sunday afternoon.
Among the games in the early window on Sunday is a playoff matchup from last year’s NFC Divisional round. In a week two battle, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-0) return to Ford Field, where their season ended last year in a loss to the Detroit Lions (1-0). Tampa was coming in after upsetting the defending NFC Champion Philadelphia Eagles, but the Lions put an end to their run in a 31-23 game. That was the Lions’ final win of the 2023 season – they lost in the NFC Championship to the San Francisco 49ers the next week.

That was actually the second meeting between the Lions and Bucs last season. Detroit won in Tampa in the regular season, 20-6.
Both games saw the Lions get big-time performances from quarterback Jared Goff. He completed a combined 60 of his 87 pass attempts for 640 yards between the two games, throwing two touchdowns in each game with no interceptions.
Now Goff faces a Tampa defense coming off a strong showing against the pass. Last week against the Washington Commanders and rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels they allowed just 161 passing yards and no touchdowns through the air.
Can Tampa’s defense put together a similar effort against a more experienced quarterback? Or will Goff get to them again? Tune in at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday to find out.
