The Detroit Lions are roaring with pride as running back Jahmyr Gibbs secures the title of NFC Offensive Player of the Month for games played in December and January. As CBS News Detroit reported, Gibbs notably led the league with nine scrimmage touchdowns and headed the NFC in scrimmage yards per game. Furthermore, the 22-year-old sensation established himself as a formidable force in the receiving game, becoming the top running back in that category.

In an offense that swept through opponents, Gibbs amassed 16 touchdowns over the 2024 season, with a special highlight reel against the Minnesota Vikings, where he dashed into the end zone four times during their 31-9 triumph. According to WXYZ, this victory not only showcased Gibbs' prowess but also clinched the Lions the No. 1 seed and a bye week heading into the playoffs.

While Gibbs' accolades continue to stack, the Lions' record-breaking season with a franchise-best 15-2 stands testament to the team's collective success. Notably, Gibbs became the sixth player to score a touchdown in 21 games within his first two seasons in the NFL, as per details shared by CBS News Detroit. Joining the ranks of legends like Barry Sanders, this recognition further cements his escalating stature in professional football.

Following his weekly accolade, Gibbs has also been nominated for the 2024 FedEx Air and Ground Players of the Year, alongside elite company including quarterbacks Josh Allen and Joe Burrow, according to a report from The Detroit News. Despite being the former No. 12 pick from Alabama, Gibbs' impact on the field and within the Lions' locker room is irrefutably proving to be a draft day steal with every yard gained and every touchdown scored.
