DETROIT (FOX 2) - Stop us if this sounds familiar: The Lions just beat the Los Angeles Rams at Ford Field and will welcome the Tampa Bay Bucs into Detroit this weekend.
In a strange parallel to the NFC Playoffs in January, the Lions beat the Rams this past weekend and now play the Bucs – with both games happening at Ford Field.
On the shoulder of Jared Goff and the legs of David Montgomery and Jameson Williams, the Lions beat the Rams 26-20 on Sunday Night Football. Now they turn their attention to another NFC playoff team in the Bucs.
It's going to come at the sacrifice of a bit of rest as the game went into overtime – ending just before midnight on Sunday.
Jared Goff: Lions need to ‘fix some things’, says Ford Field on week one was a ‘fun night’
"Look, it is hard to sleep after any game, especially when you get home at 1:00 or 2:00 or whatever that was," head coach Dan Campbell said Monday afternoon. "Your mind is racing, thinking about all the different things that went right or wrong, and it is impossible to sleep no matter how tired you are."
What Dan Campbell said about the Detroit Lions victory: ‘We found a way to win’
What time is the Lions-Bucs game?
