The Detroit Lions managed to defeat the San Francisco 49ers in a dramatic back-and-forth game on Monday Night Football, avenging their NFC Championship loss from the previous season. Despite struggling defensively, the Lions benefitted from two key second-half interceptions by Kerby Joseph, which turned into 14 points, helping to neutralize the 49ers’ momentum.
Although the win didn’t clinch the NFC North or the No. 1 seed, it set the stage for a crucial matchup with the Minnesota Vikings in Week 18. If the Lions win that game, they will secure the NFC North title and the top playoff seed, including a bye. A loss, however, would drop them to the No. 5 seed, forcing them to travel for the wild-card round.
In the postgame Dungeon of Doom podcast, hosts Ben Raven and Kory Woods reflect on the win against the 49ers and discuss the significance of next week’s game against the Vikings. Fans can listen to the podcast on platforms like Spotify, Apple, and Google. Additionally, MLive’s Subtext Insider Texts program offers fan interaction and questions for the weekly mailbag episodes.
