The Detroit Lions head to Santa Clara in a 2023 NFC Championship Game against the San Francisco 49ers. The Lions, who recorded the first-ever season with 13 wins in their history, are looking to script even more history and take the No. 1 seed in the NFC.
The Lions (13-2) enter Monday night’s rematch with a clear path to securing the NFC’s top playoff seed, while the 49ers (6-9) have already been eliminated from postseason contention. For Detroit, avenging last season’s 34-31 loss takes a back seat to the stakes of the season’s final two weeks.
The Lions can clinch the NFC’s top seed by winning their last two games or by defeating the Niners, provided the Minnesota Vikings lose to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.

Why would the Detroit Lions win?
The Detroit Lions has been on a roll the whole season. They have humiliated their opponents, limited powerful defenses, and dominated several games. The only teams who were able to put a stop to the Lions were the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Buffalo Bills.
The Lions is led by one of the MVP favorites of the season: Jared Goff. Although, Goff has fallen in the face of Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson, he still had some stat padding games with impressive offense numbers. Goff is ranked third in most passing yards this season, with 4,095 yards, and fourth in most passing TDs, 33. Although, Goff didn’t perform much in the loss against the Buccaneers, he made some damage against the Bills.
The Lions’ running game could have a field game as the San Francisco 49ers cornerbacks and defense are in one of their biggest slumps. The position sustained huge setbacks when Dre Greenlaw tore his Achilles last week. In their last week loss against the Dolphins, The 49ers allowed Dolphins’ running back Devon Achane to record six receptions for 70 yards.
Why would the San Francisco 49ers win?
This is a long shot. The San Francisco 49ers who handed the Lions one of their heartbreaking home hitting loss aren’t the same team. The matchup, as the Athletic headline, suggests has lost its spark it once carried.
Despite 49ers’ recent failures, an upset could not be written off. The 49ers could somehow force a victory. Amid the loss in Week 16, Deebo Samuel Sr. had some flashes of returning to full form. He recorded seven receptions for 96 yards in a game where he totaled 12 touches for 121 scrimmage yards. Talanoa Hufanga and Nick Zakelj could change the tune for the 49ers.
As the season comes to a close, it is also one of the last opportunities for Brock Purdy to show that he still got it. He hasn’t been effective as a quarterback in the absence of his compatriot Christian McCaffrey. Purdy, who heads into a contract extension time period for the first time has a lot to prove on the upcoming night.
