The Wild Card Round of the playoffs continued on Sunday, as four NFC teams fought for their postseason lives in two games that also helped determine the 2024 NFL draft order.

The Green Bay Packers pulled off a stunning upset of the Dallas Cowboys, easily taking care of the NFC East winners in a 48-32 victory. Jordan Love threw for 272 yards and three touchdowns, leading the Packers to the NFC Divisional round for the second time in the past three seasons.

Meanwhile, the Detroit Lions recorded their first playoff win since 1992 by defeating the Los Angeles Rams by the final score of 24-23. After winning 12 games and securing their first division title since 1993, the Lions have continued to exceed expectations in the postseason.

* Indicates a locked-in selection

Packers 48, Cowboys 32

The Packers traveled to AT&T Stadium and defeated the Cowboys in a contest that wasn't as close as the final score might indicate. Love accumulated a perfect 158.3 passer rating in his postseason debut, becoming the first player in NFL history to do so (per Fox Sports).

On the other hand, Dak Prescott struggled mightily in the first half and wasn't able to lead Dallas out of a 48-16 hole in the fourth quarter. He finished the afternoon with two interceptions, as the second one was returned for a touchdown to give Green Bay an early 27-point lead.

The Cowboys became the first team to lose a home playoff game this year after the Houston Texans and Kansas City Chiefs were both able to secure victories on Saturday.

Lions 24, Rams 23

Jared Goff made several timely throws while the Lions' defense kept the Rams out of the end zone in the second half to clinch the historic victory. With Detroit needing a first down to put the contest away, Goff fired an 11-yard pass to Amon-Ra St. Brown to secure the game-clinching first down.

Despite the heartbreaking loss, the Rams' future still looks bright as rookie wide receiver Puka Nacua was nearly unstoppable all night long. He racked up 181 yards on nine receptions, finding the end zone in the second quarter to keep the score close.

Nacua gained 59 of his yards after contact, the fourth-highest mark in a game this season (per NFL Next Gen Stats). However, the Rams' offense stalled on their final possession and did not get the ball back after punting with just over four minutes remaining in the contest.

Remaining Wild Card Schedule

Monday, Jan. 15

  • Pittsburgh Steelers at Buffalo Bills, 4:30 p.m. ET
  • Philadelphia Eagles at Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 8:15 p.m. ET

Following Sunday night's action, there is only one undecided spot in the divisional round for each conference. The Bills will host the Steelers in a matchup between two AFC opponents, while the NFC's final wild-card battle includes the Eagles and the Buccaneers.

If Pittsburgh wins, the team will head to Baltimore for a matchup with the division-rival Ravens. In a scenario that Buffalo secures the victory, head coach Sean McDermott's unit will host Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.

After the Packers' victory, the winner of Monday night's contest between Philadelphia and Tampa Bay will travel north to face off against the Lions.
