On Sunday, Jared Goff and Baker Mayfield will square off in a high-profile battle between former No. 1 overall picks captaining teams that did not draft them. Goff and the Detroit Lions prevailed over the Los Angeles Rams in the Wild Card round for the team’s first playoff win since 1991. Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers knocked off the Philadelphia Eagles last week for their sixth win in the last seven games. The two teams will play at Ford Field for the second all-time postseason meeting between the Buccaneers and the Lions, and the first such battle since 1997.
Kickoff is at 3 p.m. ET in Detroit.
