Gibbs has 5,919 scrimmage yards and 58 scrimmage touchdowns since being drafted by the Lions in 2023, putting him on the verge of joining an elite historical club; he could reach 6,000 yards and 60 touchdowns as soon as Sunday against the Vikings, which would make him just the third player in NFL history to achieve those benchmarks within his first three NFL seasons, joining Hall of Famers Terrell Davis and LaDainian Tomlinson.

Gibbs is fourth in rushing yards with 620 yards but leads the league with 7 rushing touchdowns. The source ranks him #5 in its MVP top-5 and calls him the clear #2 behind Walker and Robinson. Since the Lions released David Montgomery in free agency, Gibbs has assumed bell-cow duties. Gibbs is on pace for the greatest RB season in NFL history: 357 carries, 1,714 rushing yards, 4.8 yards per carry, 24 rushing TDs, 92 receptions, 826 receiving yards, 7 receiving TDs, and 2,540 scrimmage yards (NFL record) with 31 total TDs.

Gibbs pulled up and slid awkwardly just short of the goal line late in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Packers, intentionally staying down to drain the clock rather than score. He finished with 143 total yards on 34 touches. Dan Campbell said Monday he expects Gibbs to be fine. The source is not seeing much on there being any serious injury and is not downgrading him at this point, but recommends keeping a light eye on his practice reports this week to be safe.

Gibbs received a C grade despite 29 carries. Of those carries, 12 went for at least 7 yards but eight went for 0 yards or less, reflecting inconsistent production and excessive dancing in the backfield. The Lions averaged -0.80 yards before contact, the worst performance of Week 7, indicating run-blocking lapses. Most critically, Gibbs fumbled in the red zone on a play where Cade Mays jarred the ball loose—a huge missed opportunity that prevented the Lions from pulling away.
