Lions rookie Jahmyr Gibbs had a breakout performance on Monday Night Football, rushing for 152 yards with a touchdown and recording 37 receiving yards. Gibbs expressed frustration with fantasy managers questioning his production and credited his success to gaining confidence and feeling comfortable on the field. The Lions coaching staff made a deliberate effort to get Gibbs involved early in the game, and his performance helped propel the team to a 26-14 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. With a 6-2 record, the Lions have the second-best record in the NFC and have won six straight divisional games.
