With his third multi-touchdown game of the season in Week 10 against the Washington Commanders, Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs now has 41 total touchdowns in his career. He has also played 41 career regular season games, which makes for some very easy per-game average math.

Last season, Gibbs tied for the league lead in rushing touchdowns (16) while also leading the league and setting the Lions' single-season franchise record with 20 total touchdowns.
