Lions hoping to make more history, seeking first road playoff win since 1957
The Detroit Lions have taken strides toward leaving their woeful history behind, pulling within a win of their first Super Bowl appearance. Detroit plays at San Francisco on Sunday in the NFC championship game, aiming for the franchise's first road playoff win since 1957, when it beat the 49ers and went on to win the NFL title. “We're just getting over mountains right now,” defensive end Aidan Hutchinson said after helping the Lions beat Tampa Bay to advance.
