Detroit Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs rushed 17 times for 136 yards and two touchdowns in Week 7 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and he had three receptions for 82 yards on three targets. Gibbs now has eight career games with two or more rushing touchdowns, tying Billy Sims for the second most in franchise history. He is also the first Lions player since RB Kevin Smith (2011) to tally more than 200 scrimmage yards in a single game, and he is the seventh player in franchise history to do so.
| Footballguys view: But wait, there's more . . . Gibbs is the first NFL player with at least 135 yards rushing and 80 yards receiving along with two scores on the ground since Chris Johnson pulled off the feat with Tennessee in 2009. "He's a very talented running back and when you miss a gap, he can turn it into a big play," Bucs coach Todd Bowles said. The Lions are off Week 8. Gibbs' investors will eagerly await his return against the Vikings in Week 9. |

Lions | Amon-Ra St. Brown racks up 86 yards, TD Tue Oct 21, 12:05 AM

The superstar wideout continued dominating QB Jared Goff's target share, finishing the primetime win with seven more targets than any other Lions' receiver. St. Brown's mini scoring slump hasn't stopped him from posting WR1 numbers (50-538-7) heading into Detroit's bye week. St. Brown and the Lions will return against Minnesota in Week 8. |

Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff completed 23 of his 29 passes for 203 yards and two touchdowns in a 30-17 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 6.

Still, Goff has a passing touchdown in 12 straight games, which is the longest streak of his career. He played well, but the offense couldn't find a groove in the second half. The Lions will face the Buccaneers in Detroit on Monday Night Football in Week 7. |
