Observations from the Detroit Lions’ 30-20 victory over the Minnesota Vikings

Consistent QB: The Lions aren’t NFC North champs and hosting a playoff game without the consistent play from Goff all season. Goff was 23-of-32 for 320 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions for a 124.5 passer rating vs. the Vikings. On the year, Goff finished 407-of-605 (67.3 percent) for 4,575 yards, 30 touchdowns and 12 interceptions for a 97.9 passer rating. – Tim Twentyman

O-line play: The Lions gave up one sack and three quarterback hits, compared to four sacks allowed and 15 quarterback hits allowed by the Vikings – Mike O’Hara
