Gibbs benefits from Lions' play-action scheme loosening Patriots' run defense.

The Lions' reliance on early-down play-action should create favorable conditions for Gibbs in the running game. By putting Patriots linebackers Robert Spillane and Christian Elliss, along with strong safety Craig Woodson, in a bind with play-action, the Lions can mitigate New England's pass rush and loosen up the running lanes for Gibbs, keeping defenders on their heels early in downs.
