SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- If there was any question on whether Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell would play or rest his starters ahead of the playoffs, he answered that immediately by going full-throttle with his top guys on Monday night.
In a rematch of 2023 NFC Championship Game, the Lions got revenge, winning 40-34, after the San Francisco 49ers denied Detroit of their first-ever Super Bowl appearance last season.
Detroit hadn't won a road game at San Francisco since 1975, losing 14 straight road games -- including the postseason -- but overcame a 21-13 first half deficit to end that road drought against the 49ers.
