Los Angeles 28 at Detroit 34 (OT) (Divisional Playoff Game)

The defending NFC champs put up a good fight, but in the end Detroit prevailed.  The Lions seemed to have no trouble moving the ball against the Rams defense, but they couldn't seem to stop Rams from scoring either.  Both James Harris and Greg Landry had fantastic games, but the big star of the day was Mel Jacobs.  The Lions have been trying to return to the Super Bowl for the past three seasons with no luck, despite being consistently one of the best teams in the League.  Now they are only one win away.  Many people feel this will have been the Rams last hurrah with their current lineup.  James Harris isn't getting any younger and their defense isn't quite the same they once were.  It could be a big fall off for them next season, we'll see how well they can rework their talent.
