Two former No. 1 overall picks will face off in a divisional round meeting on Sunday, but neither of them are playing for their original teams.
Jared Goff – the first selection in the 2016 NFL Draft – and the Detroit Lions will host 2018 top pick Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in their second home playoff game of the 21st century.
Both quarterbacks came to their current team after stints with the Los Angeles Rams, and each led his team to a significant wild-card round win just one week ago. Now, they’ll play with a spot in the NFC Championship on the line.
