Detroit Lions' impressive 8-0 record was solidified by their thrilling victory over the San Francisco 49ers, culminating in a final score of 40-34 during a highly anticipated Monday Night Football matchup. This game not only showcased the offensive prowess of both teams but also marked a historic moment, being the first contest since 1937 to feature over ten touchdowns without any punts . Key performances from Lions players such as quarterback Jared Goff and running back Jahmyr Gibbs were instrumental in securing this win. Goff threw for an impressive 303 yards and three touchdowns, while Gibbs contributed significantly with a pivotal 30-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter that ultimately sealed the game .
49ers denied Detroit its first-ever Super Bowl appearance last season.
Detroit hadn't won a road game at San Francisco since 1975, losing 14 straight -- including the postseason -- but overcame a 21-13 first-half deficit to end that road drought against the 49ers.
Jameson Williams scored two touchdowns (including one off a trick play), while Gibbs was a beast on the ground with 117 rushing yards in addition to his four catches for 46 yards. The Lions' defense recorded a pair of second-half picks against 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy, who left the game after injuring his elbow with under two minutes left. His backup, Josh Dobbs, made the final score look closer with a late touchdown run. 
The game started with five consecutive drives that ended with touchdowns. San Francisco took a 21-13 halftime lead on the strength of Purdy's 200 passing yards, two touchdown passes and 9-yard touchdown run during the game's first 30 minutes. But from there, it was all Detroit.
