The Tampa Bay Buccaneers secured a 20-16 victory over the Detroit Lions in a tightly contested playoff rematch at Ford Field. Despite missing several starters, including Pro Bowl nose tackle Vita Vea, the Bucs' defense, led by impressive performances from Baker Mayfield and Chris Godwin, was able to stifle the Lions' offense and make critical stops in the final minutes. Mayfield contributed with a rushing touchdown and a key 41-yard touchdown pass to Godwin, who also recorded seven receptions for 117 yards. The Lions struggled with turnovers, as Jared Goff threw two interceptions and missed opportunities for a field goal in the first half. Aidan Hutchinson had a standout game defensively for Detroit, recording a career-high five sacks. The win improves Tampa Bay's record to 2-0 for the fourth consecutive season.
