The 23-year-old dynamo’s scoring production stood out on an evening in which the Lions’ offense was in well-rounded form, getting massive contributions from an injured Amon-Ra St. Brown<\/a>, receiver Jameson Williams<\/a>, quarterback Jared Goff<\/a>, and Gibbs’ running mate David Montgomery<\/a>, who scored on the ground, as well, marking the 14th game they’ve each scored at least one TD — fourth all time among running back duos.<\/p>\n

“It was very fun and it’s been a minute,” Gibbs said of he and Montgomery both scoring, a feat no accomplished since Week 5 against the Cincinnati Bengals. “I think it’s been a minute, I don’t know but just keep each other fresh and just watch each other go to work. It’s always exciting to see.”<\/p>\n

With a loss, the Lions’ playoff probability would’ve dropped to just 20%. On the strength of the win and Gibbs’ three TDs, it rose to 55%.<\/p>\n

“That’s a damn good win,” Campbell said.<\/p>\n

Gibbs’ showing Thursday was his fifth multi-TD game of the season and the 13th of his career, which is tied for the most through three seasons in the Super Bowl era, per NFL Research.<\/p>\n

In the short time of two-plus seasons and 45 games, Gibbs has become consistently magnificent.<\/p>\n

“He’s so good every week and does a great job in everything we ask him,” Goff said.<\/p>\n

After his latest performance, Gibbs’ all-around numbers through 13 2025 games sparkle.<\/p>\n

His 1,062 rushing yards are third in the league, his 474 receiving yards are third among running backs and his 16 scrimmage scores are second in the league.<\/p>\n

In the 2023 NFL Draft, the Lions plucked Gibbs out of Alabama with the No. 12 overall pick<\/a>. It was a much-scrutinized pick taking a running back so early, all the more so considering the Lions were a rebuilding franchise believed to have needs throughout the roster.<\/p>\n

Now, though, the Lions are aiming for the postseason for the third time in as many seasons — or in each year Gibbs has been on the team.<\/p>\n

Detroit improved to 8-0 this season when Gibbs finds pay dirt, its odds of triumph growing every time the talented runner gets six.<\/p>\n

It’s been such a scintillating career start for Gibbs, but Campbell believes the best is yet to come for a player who’s demanding recognition as being among the very best at his position.<\/p>\n

“There’s just not a cap on this dude yet,” Campbell said. “And there again, he works his tail off. He’s freaking smart, he’s instinctive, he’s a team guy. I mean, he’s something else. So, the sky is the limit for him. He’s just getting started now. He’s just getting started.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 23-year-old dynamo’s scoring production stood out on an evening in which the Lions’ offense was in well-rounded…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":77143,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[9952,102,113,104,103,10376,10382,223,9953,9954],"class_list":["post-77142","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-dallas","tag-around-the-nfl","tag-dallas","tag-dallas-cowboys","tag-dallas-headlines","tag-dallas-news","tag-detroit-lions","tag-jahmyr-gibbs","tag-news","tag-no-minute","tag-regular-season"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77142","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=77142"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77142\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/77143"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=77142"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=77142"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=77142"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
