The Lions earned a hard-fought 12-7 victory over Philadelphia at Tiger Stadium on Sunday, advancing to the NFL Championship Game in Cleveland next week against the Browns. Detroit scored twice in the span of 2 minutes late in the first half, first on a safety of QB Bobby Thomason by the Lions pass rush, then on a 24-yard strike from Bobby Layne to Leon Hart. The Lions defense battled the entire second half, only securing the victory with 40 seconds remaining when Thomason's 4th down pass to Pete Pihos fell incomplete. Detroit could only manage 22 yards after halftime.
Detroit is attempting to repeat as champions, which would make them the 4th team to complete the feat in the 13-year history of THPF.
