From the article

With an inconsistent passing attack, Gibbs largely led the offense. He rattled off 156 yards on 29 carries (a new career-high), yet perhaps the most impressive part of that stat line is that his longest was just 21 yards. No breakaway runs inflated his average of 5.4 yards per attempt; it was just consistent gains throughout the game.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Gibbs' 156 yards on 29 carries shows bell-cow durability and efficiency.

In his first game as the official bell cow of the Lions backfield, Gibbs delivered 156 yards on 29 carries (a new career-high) with a 5.4 yards-per-attempt average despite no breakaway runs; the source notes his consistency throughout the game and ability to handle heavy volume without sacrificing efficiency, averaging more yards per attempt (5.4) than Jared Goff did through the air (5.3 yards per attempt). The Lions are expected to lean on Gibbs early and often this season.
