The Lions are in a conference championship game for the first time in 32 years after a 31-23 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Detroit's offense is rolling behind quarterback Jared Goff and rookie running back Jahmyr Gibbs, who had a game-high 114 yards from scrimmage and a rushing touchdown. Detroit's defense forced two turnovers and tallied four sacks to seal the win.

San Francisco cut it close in a rain-soaked divisional round win over the Green Bay Packers. Quarterback Brock Purdy had one of his worst performances of the season in completing just 59% of his passes for a 86.7 quarterback rating. Running back Christian McCaffrey scored the go-ahead touchdown late in the fourth quarter to put the 49ers up 24-21 and the defense held on thanks to a timely interception by linebacker Dre Greenlaw. Sunday marks San Francisco's third consecutive NFC title game appearance and fourth in five years.
