Former Alabama coach Bill O'Brien heaped praise on Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs during a recent interview with Adam Schefter.
Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs named NFC Offensive Player of Week
Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs in the NFC Offensive Player of the Week and Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix is the AFC Offensive Player of the Week for the final week of the NFL’s 2024 regular season.
After their game against the Vikings, Jahmyr Gibbs spoke about locking up the No. 1 seed and proving the doubters wrong.
The Lions running back had 139 yards and three touchdowns on the ground to go along with 31 yards receiving and another score in the air.
Jahmyr Gibbs topped 100 yards rushing in all 3 games the Lions played without David Montgomery and fell just shy of 2,000 scrimmage yards.
Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs gained only one yard on his first six carries of the game, but all he needed was one big play to take it to the house. With 1:43 left in the first quarter, Gibbs exploded through the middle for a 25-yard rushing touchdown to give Detroit a 7-0 lead over the Minnesota Vikings.
The 22-year-old standout running back put the team on his back during Sunday night's highlyanticipated NFC North title game, having single-handedly run in or caught all four of the Lions' touchdowns in their 31–9 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. He now boasts a league-leading total of 20 TDs on the season.
The Lions defeated the Minnesota Vikings (14-3), 31-9, in the first ever regular-season game in NFL history between two teams with 13-plus wins apiece. The victory earned the Lions the NFC’s No. 1 seed and a first-round bye in the playoffs. It’s the first time in franchise history the Lions have earned the No. 1 seed in the postseason.
In 2024, Goff greatly benefited from a deep arsenal of pass-catchers, including Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams and Sam LaPorta. St. Brown and Williams each went for north of 1,000 receiving yards, while LaPorta amassed 726 yards.
