In his debut on Monday Night Football, Detroit Lions rookie Jahmyr Gibbs put on an impressive performance, showcasing his skills and quieting the critics who had questioned his productivity this season. Gibbs tallied an impressive 189 yards from scrimmage, earning him 29.9 fantasy points. He especially shone in the rushing game, racking up 152 yards and securing a touchdown. Gibbs’ teammates and coaches were highly impressed with his ability to adapt and his speed on the field.

Right from the start of the game, the Lions made it a point to involve Gibbs, giving him 11 touches in the first quarter alone. Throughout the game, he recorded a total of 31 touches, demonstrating his versatility with five receptions for 37 yards.
