Lions vs. Buccaneers will rematch in the postseason

Back in Week 6, the Detroit Lions traveled to Tampa Bay and beat the Buccaneers 20-6. Walking away from that defensive struggle of a game, it might have seemed far-fetched that the two teams would face off again after playoff victories, but that’s exactly where the division champs are now.

This time around, the Buccaneers and Lions will meet in Detroit. The Divisional Round matchup raises the stakes considerably from the first matchup in mid-October.

The Lions vanquished the Rams, 24-23, on Sunday night. Tampa Bay smoked the Philadelphia Eagles, 32-9, on Monday night to set up the rematch. The two teams will square off again in Ford Field at 3 p.m. on Sunday, January 21st.
