There’s no doubt Jahmyr Gibbs of Dalton, Georgia has had a solid season. The 12th overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft has 1102 rushing yards (seventh best in the National Football League), and his 1662 yards from scrimmage is eighth in the NFL.
However, what we saw this past Sunday, was not the best from Gibbs on the ground. He was stopped by the effective Pittsburgh Steelers defensive rush as he was limited to only two yards on seven carries in a 29-24 Detroit Lions loss at home. Yes, Gibbs had 10 catches for 66 receiving yards and a major score, but for the Lions to be effective offensively, they need strong production by both of their running backs. David Montgomery of Cincinnati, Ohio, was also completely unproductive running the football, as he had four rushes for 14 rushing yards.
