The Lions needed a statement after their disappointing loss to Buffalo, and Jahmyr Gibbs delivered exactly that against the Jets. Detroit escaped with a 31-24 victory, but Gibbs was undoubtedly the biggest star on the field.
Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell compared running back Jahmyr Gibbs to franchise legend Barry Sanders following Detroit's 31-24 victory over the New York Jets. Campbell highlighted Gibbs' change of direction, acceleration, speed, power, and body control after the running back recorded 164 total yards and scored three touchdowns.
Gibbs rushed for 99 yards and two touchdowns on 20 carries while adding seven catches for 65 yards and a receiving score. The performance moved Gibbs past Billy Sims into second place on the Lions' all-time rushing touchdown list, leaving only Sanders ahead of him.
