Four years after suffering a heartbreaking loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 54, the 49ers got a shot at redemption following a close win over the Lions.

Going into the second half with a 17-point, lead, it looked like the Lions would finally reach their first Super Bowl after years of sub-par play. Unfortunately, they collapsed down the stretch, losing the lead and eventually, losing the game by a close score of 34-31. This loss sent Detroit back to the drawing board for the next season.
