In what many considered a meaningless game for the Detroit Lions, it wasn’t meaningless to them. This team has been on a mission this season to right the wrongs of last year, defend their divisional title, and try and reach the Super Bowl. Before the NFC North is decided in Week 18, Detroit had to take a little trip out west to get revenge on one final team to complete their revenge tour of 2024. That team was the San Francisco 49ers.
Despite being closer than what everyone wanted it to be, Detroit took down the 49ers, winning 40-34.
