The Detroit Lions will be back at home this weekend for the NFC Divisional Playoff round thanks to help from their NFC North rival Green Bay Packers.

The NFL released the schedule for the divisional round after the Lions beat the Los Angeles Rams 24-23 to win their first playoff game in more than 32 years.

Detroit will face Tampa Bay Sunday at 3 p.m. after the Buccaneers beat the Philadelphia Eagles 32-9 on Monday night.

More than 66,000 fans packed Ford Field last Sunday night to see the Lions win.

The Packers upset the No. 2 seed Dallas Cowboys last Sunday afternoon, and the NFL re-ranks after every playoff round, meaning the Lions will now be the No. 2 seed.
