  • LaPorta had a standout rookie season, setting franchise records for receptions (86), yards (886) and touchdowns (10) by a Lions tight end.
  • Rams safety Jordan Fuller, the team’s second-leading tackler, is ruled out due to an ankle injury.
  • This is the Lions' first playoff game since 2016 and the first postseason game in Detroit in 30 years.
