Pass receiver Brown was the hosts’ best receiver in his play-off debut, gaining 110 yards. The son of a German mother and an American father’s final catch gave Detroit a new first down and sealed the victory. It was the Lions’ first win in a playoff game in 32 years.
All five touchdowns in the game were scored before the break, and after the break the strong defensive lines took command. 181 yards from receiver Puka Nacua were also not enough for the Rams.
The highly rated cowboys experienced a debacle. The Packers, who were the youngest team in the NFL to qualify for the play-offs on the last day of the regular season with a 9-8 win record, easily dominated the game before allowing two late touchdowns.
Packers quarterback Jordan Love threw for 272 yards and three touchdowns in his playoff debut. His counterpart Dak Prescott had a nightmare and had two interceptions in the first half – the result was a 27-0 deficit.
