The NFL playoffs are upon us, which means Super Bowl LIX is just a few weeks away. Fourteen teams remain alive after they battled for months to make the playoffs and are set to embark on a month-long sprint to try and earn a berth in New Orleans and hoist the Lombardi Trophy.

A short memory is needed in this game against the Rams that has been moved because of the Los Angeles wildfires to State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.

Jahmyr Gibbs had 170 scrimmage yards and a career-high four touchdowns in the Detroit Lions' 31-9 win over the Minnesota Vikings.

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs capped off the regular season in impressive fashion, earning NFC Offensive Player of the Month honors for December and January. Earlier in the week, he was named NFC Offensive Player of the Week for his performance in the regular-season finale Sunday at Ford Field.
