NFL Week 13 power rankings: Mixed results after Lions OT win over Giants

Somewhere in Detroit, Jahmyr Gibbs is still running untouched.

I’m choosing to ignore how easily the Giants moved the ball on Detroit’s defense—especially considering how much credit I gave Detroit’s defensive coordinator, Kelvin Sheppard, earlier this season. Instead, I’m going to spend my time watching highlights from Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs’s 264-yard and three-touchdown performance. He did all of that on 26 total touches.

Gibbs’s speed is uncanny and game-breaking, and he holds three of the top five mile-per-hour marks this season, according to the NFL’s Next Gen Stats. The way he scored the go-ahead touchdown in overtime on Sunday illustrates why we can never count Detroit out, even though this season hasn’t been as smooth as head coach Dan Campbell would’ve liked.
