Goff connected with Reynolds for a short pass in the back of the end zone to give Detroit a 10-3 edge with 12:33 remaining in the first half.

It was Reynolds’ first career postseason touchdown. Goff was 9-of-10 for 60 yards and the touchdown pass on the Lions’ 14-play scoring drive.

Then, in his first carry since Oct. 30, running back Craig Reynolds gave the Lions an 17-10 edge at 3:48 in the third quarter with a touchdown from the goal line.

It was Reynolds’ first career playoff score as the Lions scored their second touchdown on fourth down this postseason. During the regular season, the Lions went for it on fourth down 34% of the time, which was the highest rate by any team this century, per ESPN Stats & Information.

Minutes later, Jahmyr Gibbs didn’t look like a rookie as he broke free into the open field then accelerated into the end zone for a 31-yard touchdown to start the fourth quarter.

Gibbs’ score gave the Lions a 24-17 lead with 13:13 remaining in regulation.

His 31-yard rushing touchdown was the longest rushing score by a Lions player in a playoff game since the 1991 divisional round when Barry Sanders went for 47 yards versus the Dallas Cowboys.

Gibbs became the second player in Lions history with a rushing touchdown in back-to-back playoff games, and the first to do so within a season, joining Doak Walker, who had a rushing TD in both the 1952 and 1953 NFL Championship Games.

NFL coaching changes 2023: Latest firings, hirings and rumors.

Eight NFL teams decided to move on from their head coaches either during or after the 2023 NFL regular season. Five of those jobs have since been filled — most recently Michigan’s Jim Harbaugh returns to the NFL as the Chargers’ new coach and the Panthers are planning to hire Bucs OC Dave Canales as theirs.

The Raiders started the coaching carousel Nov. 1, parting ways with coach Josh McDaniels and general manager Dave Ziegler. On Nov. 27, the Panthers fired Frank Reich, who has now been fired in back-to-back seasons. Then, on Dec. 15, the Chargers dismissed coach Brandon Staley and GM Tom Telesco, while the Falcons dismissed Arthur Smith after their season finale. The Commanders then fired coach Ron Rivera on Monday morning, and on Tuesday the Titans fired Mike Vrabel.

News broke after the season that the Seahawks had relieved Pete Carroll of head-coaching duties but are keeping him in the organization as an adviser. Later in the week after the season ended, the Patriots and coach Bill Belichick agreed to part ways, ending their 24-year run that included six Super Bowl championships. New England shortly afterward promoted Jerod Mayo to be its coach.

Here’s everything you need to know about the latest NFL head-coach movement, with news and intel on open jobs, pros and cons for each opening, and candidates who could be in the mix for interviews. Plus, we have updates on offensive coordinator and defensive coordinator openings.
