Lions beat the 49ers 40-34 in a tune-up for Week 18 division showdown

Associated Press  

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — The big prizes for the Detroit Lions remain on the horizon, with the team seeking a division title, the top seed in the NFC playoffs and the franchise’s first Super Bowl trip. Jared Goff threw three touchdown passes and the Lions tuned up for their Week 18 division showdown against Minnesota by beating the 49ers 40-34 on Monday night. San Francisco was eliminated from playoff contention last week and Detroit plays Minnesota in the regular-season finale next week, with the winner earning the NFC North title and top seed in the NFC playoffs, and the loser relegated to being the first 14-win wild-card team in NFL history. I think the biggest thing is there was things we wanted to do better than we did last week, and we did.” Goff threw a go-ahead touchdown pass to Amon-Ra St. Brown in the final minute of the third quarter following the first of Kerby Joseph’s two second-half interceptions against Brock Purdy. Purdy said his elbow “doesn’t feel the best” but initial testing showed his surgically repaired ligament from an injury sustained in the 2022 NFC title game against Philadelphia is fine.
