DETRB • #26

Jahmyr Gibbs rushed 11 times for 40 yards and a touchdown in the Lions’ Week 1 win over the Rams, adding 34 yards on four receptions.

Gibbs scored the first touchdown of the game on the first play following the two-minute warning, sending the Lions into the half with a 10-3 lead. He would then see most of the backfield work in the third quarter before ceding the bulk of the usage to David Montgomery in overtime. Expect a relatively even split in backfield opportunities for the Lions moving forward, although Gibbs could have the upper hand for touches against the stout run defense of the Buccaneers in Week 2.
