The Detroit Lions secured a historic victory over the San Francisco 49ers, marking their second consecutive week of breaking franchise records. The team, now 14-2, topped their franchise record with their 14th win of the season, surpassing the 1991 team’s 12-4 mark that won the NFC Central division.
The Lions’ road dominance continued as they finished the regular season with an undefeated 8-0 record on the road, a new franchise record. The team also defeated the 49ers at home for the first time since 1975.
Individual players set multiple records, including safety Kerby Joseph’s nine interceptions, which tops the 2024 regular-season totals and sets a Lions’ safety record for most interceptions in three seasons. Wide receiver Jake Bates broke Jason Hanson’s franchise record with 135 points scored this season, while Amon-Ra St. Brown tied Calvin Johnson’s record for most receiving touchdowns in a season.
The Lions will conclude their regular season against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday night, where the winner will secure a first-round bye and home-field advantage.
