Vaki earned coaching trust with consistent positive yardage; two-back system emerging.

Vaki played 20 snaps (28%) and took a 'huge step' in Week 8, earning 'a lot of trust' from the coaching staff by consistently gaining positive yardage on his runs. He finished with 36 yards on six carries (6.0 ypc) in the second half, demonstrating the Lions have two legitimate backfield options and giving them confidence to scale back Gibbs' workload.
