Jahmyr Gibbs, a rookie running back for the Detroit Lions, scored a touchdown, making him the only rookie RB in Lions history to have multiple touchdowns in a single postseason. This touchdown also marked the 25th scored by a Lions rookie this season, breaking a record since the merger. Gibbs gained +27 rushing yards over expected on his 31-yard TD, with 14 runs gaining at least +10 RYOE this season. He rushed for 74 yards and a TD on 9 carries, with an 88.9% rushing success rate against Tampa, the 3rd-highest rate in a game by a RB since 2018. Gibbs also had a season-high 6.1 rush yards after contact per carry. His performance was pivotal in the Lions' big Divisional Round win, as he dominated in the 4th quarter when the team needed him most. Gibbs has scored 12 rushing TDs this season, with 7 of them from outside the 10-yard line, and had six RB1 games, tied with Christian McCaffrey for most top-3 finishes on the season.
Jahmyr Gibbs had six RB1 (top-12) games this season. All six were top-3 finishes for that week. That’s tied with Christian McCaffrey for most top-3 finishes on the season.
Hard to get head around Jahmyr Gibbs' TD rate. Yes, David Montgomery is the goal-line back. But Gibbs has still scored 12 rushing TDs this season. An amazing 7 of those from outside the 10-yard line.
