After the Cowboys’ loss, the Detroit Lions might host the Divisional Round game.
The Detroit Lions may host a second NFL postseason game at Ford Field in thanks to a division rival. The Lions now have the chance to host a game in the divisional round with a victory over the Los Angeles Rams, thanks to the Green Bay Packers’ thrilling victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.
With a commanding 27-0 lead in the second quarter, Green Bay never looked back in their 48-32 victory over Dallas at AT&T Stadium.
The Packers, who emerged victorious and secured the seventh seed, will undoubtedly play the San Francisco 49ers. If the Lions prevailed, Ford Field would play home to the victor of Monday’s game between Tampa Bay and Philadelphia. The Buccaneers and Eagles will play at Raymond-James Stadium in Tampa Bay on Monday at 8:15 p.m. The Lions will host their first playoff game since January 8, 1994, on Sunday against the Rams. The game had the most costly ticket prices of any Wild Card round match, and a boisterous atmosphere is anticipated at Ford Field
The Lions have been candid about their excitement about playing in front of home supporters all week.
It’s unimaginable to me. There have been a couple games where I’ve thought, “Damn, this is one of the loudest stadiums that I’ve been a part of,” so even though I know it’s been very loud in some previous games, I’m interested to see it. “It seems like nobody discusses it,” said Amon-Ra St. Brown, a wide receiver. “‘Is it noisy when you play at Ford Field?’ I asked my brother. Yes, he replied. It’s among the loudest arenas he’s ever performed in. Thus, in my opinion, Ford Field doesn’t receive the proper recognition. If you’re watching, fans—you guys are amazing—keep raising your voices. However, I believe that it will be the loudest event I have ever attended.”
