DETROIT -- From the moment Jared Goff handed him the ball, Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs knew he was headed for the end zone -- and there was nothing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers could do about it.

With 6:01 left before halftime, the Lions held a 7-0 lead and faced first-and-10 from their own 22. Gibbs saw nothing but a black wall — his stout offensive line — pushing the Buccaneers’ defensive front far away from the line of scrimmage.

The third-year back then gashed them right up the middle, hitting a top speed of 23.23 miles per hour on a career-long, 78-yard touchdown run that gave the Lions a 14-0 lead after a Jake Bates extra point.

It was one of many highlights Gibbs had in a historic performance that helped guide the Lions to a 24-9 win over the Buccaneers at Ford Field.
