Gibbs exploits Packers' weak run defense; 51.1% success rate on outside zone.

Gibbs faces a Packers defense vulnerable to outside-zone runs, particularly with Green Bay missing key second-level defenders Edgerrin Cooper and Zaire Franklin. The Packers rank 25th in EPA per rush allowed (3.3 yards after contact per rush, 31st) and allow a 14.3% explosive run rate (21st), creating opportunities for Gibbs to make first-defender misses. The Lions' outside-zone scheme ranks top-five in most metrics, and Gibbs has been dominant on these runs with a 51.1% success rate (4th), 5.7 yards per rush (4th), and a 44.4% avoided tackle rate (2nd).
