Jahmyr Gibbs Stats vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Gibbs became the first NFL player since Chris Johnson in 2009 to post 135 or more rushing yards, 80 or more receiving yards, and two rushing touchdowns in a single game. His 78-yard scoring run in the second quarter was the longest rushing touchdown by a Lions player since Jahvid Best’s 88-yarder in 2011; it was also the longest play of Gibbs’ career. His 218 scrimmage yards trail just four single-game performances in Lions franchise history this century.

Tampa Bay went home having dropped from the NFC’s top seed to fourth, with Evans heading to injured reserve and Mayfield posting his worst passer rating of the season. Detroit went into its bye week at 5-2, the 51-game streak still running, a November 2 home game against Minnesota ahead of them. The numbers from Ford Field settle the argument cleanly: 379 yards to 251, 164 rushing yards to 41, one red zone stop against zero, and 218 scrimmage yards from a running back who produced a performance the league had not seen in 16 years.
Stats sourced from Pro Football Reference, ESPN and the Detroit Lions official game recap. Game played October 20, 2025, at Ford Field, Detroit.
Elizabeth J. Luna founded Sports Player Stats in Los Angeles in April 2026, after close to two decades covering sport professionally across Europe and the United States. She grew up in Sweden, where football was less a hobby than a household religion, and carried that obsession west when she relocated to Los Angeles in her twenties. The NFL took hold quickly. So did the NBA. Eventually she was covering both alongside FIFA, cricket, MLB, hockey, and the WNBA, which tells you something about the kind of sports journalist she is. Her work has always started with match data and player statistics, not because numbers are the whole story, but because in her experience they are usually the most honest part of it. She launched Sports Player Stats because she wanted a publication that took every sport seriously on its own terms, one where a cricket innings and an NBA box score received the same standard of analysis. That standard is what she shows up to defend every day.
