Overview
- Jahmyr Gibbs totaled 218 yards from scrimmage with two rushing touchdowns to lead Detroit’s 24-9 win.
- Detroit’s patched-together secondary and pass rush held Tampa Bay to nine points, with Baker Mayfield limited to 228 yards on 28-of-50 passing with one touchdown and one interception.
- Mike Evans and Emeka Egbuka were active at kickoff, but Evans exited in the first half and was ruled out with a shoulder injury and a concussion, and a postgame claim of a broken clavicle was reported but awaits medical confirmation.
- Key defensive moments included a forced fumble, an interception ripped away by Arthur Maulet, a successful Dan Campbell challenge that reversed a Bucs first down, and a 58-yard field goal by Jake Bates to extend the lead.
- Detroit improved to 5-2 heading into a bye as Tampa Bay fell to 5-2, underscoring NFC seeding implications after a matchup framed pregame by the Lions’ secondary injuries and the Bucs’ battered offense.
