Lions beat Vikings to clinch playoff berth, first divisional title in 30 years

Dec 25, 2023

Finally, the Detroit Lions have won the NFC North.

The Lions locked up their first division title in 30 years on Sunday afternoon when they beat the Minnesota Vikings 30-24 at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. The win officially sends the Lions into the playoffs, something the franchise hadn’t accomplished since the 2016 season.

The win also gives Detroit its first divisional title since 1993, and their first-ever NFC North title. The division wasn't created until 2002 — it was the NFC Central the last time the Lions last won — and Lions quarterback Jared Goff wasn’t even born until 1994.
