As the Detroit Lions are nearing the end of the regular season, one thing is becoming abundantly clear: running back Jahmyr Gibbs is the team MVP. Thursday's 44-30 victory over the Dallas Cowboys to keep the Lions' playoff hopes alive was yet another reason why.
Gibbs may not have been the Lions' leading rusher; his 43 yards were second on the team to David Montgomery's 60-yard effort, but he was nothing short of dominant. Gibbs rushed for three touchdowns, including a game-sealing 13-yard score with just over two minutes left in the game. Gibbs' three TDs vault him to second in the NFL in total TDs, one behind Indianapolis Colts' Jonathan Taylor's 17.
