DETROIT—Jared Goff threw for a touchdown and completed a game-sealing first down against the team that cast him away, and the Detroit Lions won a playoff game for the first time in 32 years, beating Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams 24–23 on Sunday night, Jan. 14.
The Lions (13–5) ended a nine-game postseason losing streak—the longest in NFL history—that dated to a victory over Dallas on Jan. 5, 1992. They lost a home playoff game two years later and hadn’t hosted one since.
