Jahmyr Gibbs Named NFC Offensive Player of the Week After 264-Yard, OT Winner

The honor reflects his expanded role under Dan Campbell's play-calling.

Overview

  • Week 12 marked Gibbs’ second NFC Offensive Player of the Week in three weeks and the third of his career.
  • He powered Detroit’s 34-27 overtime win vs. the Giants with 219 rushing yards on 15 carries, 11 receptions for 45 yards, and three total touchdowns, including a 69-yard walk-off run.
  • Next Gen Stats clocked that winning run at 22.17 mph, the fourth-fastest ball-carrier speed recorded in the league this season.
  • His stat line placed him alongside LaDainian Tomlinson as the only players to log 200 rushing yards and at least 10 receptions in a game, with recent three-game efficiency drawing comparisons to Jim Brown.
  • The Lions improved to 7-4, Green Bay coaches say they must adjust their defensive approach to contain him on Thanksgiving, and betting markets list him as a heavy favorite to score (-185).
