After a couple of thrilling home playoff victories, the third-seeded Detroit Lions are heading to California to take on the top-seeded 49ers in the NFC Championship game. The winner of Sunday's championship game will earn a trip to Super Bowl LVIII.

While the Niners franchise has five Vince Lombardi trophies, the Lions have yet to even appear in a Super Bowl. The Lions win over the Los Angeles Rams in the wild-card round marked the first home playoff game for the franchise in several decades.

The entire city of Detroit has seemed to rally behind the Lions, even as the team prepares to play away from home this weekend. In the third quarter of the Pistons game on Saturday, fans broke out "Jared Goff! Jared Goff!" chants.
