Jahmyr Gibbs dominates Minnesota Vikings, helps Detroit Lions clinch NFC's top seed
Lions vs. Vikings highlights: Detroit rides Jahmyr Gibbs to NFC North title, No. 1 seed
The Detroit Lions, behind four touchdowns from Jahmyr Gibbs, defeated the Minnesota Vikings and won the NFC North division title.
Since the Lions won the NFC North after beating the Minnesota Vikings in Week 18, that means they will face the division winners from the AFC West (Kansas City Chiefs), NFC South (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) and NFC West (Los Angeles Rams).
On the NFC’s side, the Detroit Lions led their conference with seven Pro Bowlers and five NFC starters. Lions quarterback Jared Goff was voted as Team NFC’s starting quarterback after recording career-high numbers in passing touchdowns (36), yards per pass attempt (8.7), completion percentage (71.7) and passer rating (113.6).
On average, 28.5 million viewers watched NBC and Peacock to see the Lions beat the Vikings 31-9 and claim the No. 1 seed in the NFC. Only the 2012 regular-season finale between Washington and Dallas (30.5 million) and the 2024 season opener between the Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs (29.2 million) drew bigger SNF audiences.
The Jacksonville Jaguars have requested to interview Detroit Lions OC Ben Johnson and DC Aaron Glenn for their head-coaching vacancy.
