Lions beat Buccaneers to reach first NFC championship game in 32 years

• Tampa Bay Buccaneers 23-31 Detroit Lions
• Lions will face 49ers for place in Super Bowl LVIII

Jared Goff threw two touchdown passes and the Detroit Lions beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 31-23 in their divisional playoff game on Sunday, lifting the long-suffering franchise into the NFC championship for the first time in 32 years and just the second time in franchise history.

The Lions have won two playoff games in a season for the first time since 1957, the last year they won the NFL title. They will play at San Francisco, the NFC's top seed, next Sunday for a spot in the Super Bowl - a game they have never played in.
