Jahmyr Gibbs just dropped a five-yard touchdown run against the New England Patriots in Germany, and it wasn’t just any score: it was his 61st NFL touchdown, tying the all-time record for most scores through a player’s first four seasons in the league. That’s a huge milestone, matching two-time Super Bowl champion Terrell Davis, and it puts Gibbs right at the cusp of making history all his own.
Gibbs Is Absolutely Balling Out
The dude is on fire this season. Heading into Week 10, Gibbs already had 11 touchdowns under his belt in just eight starts,nine on the ground and two through the air. That’s an insane average of 1.38 touchdowns per game! In the first half alone against the Patriots, he was carving up the defense with 13 carries for 93 yards. He wasn’t done there, adding four catches to rack up a massive 171 total yards from scrimmage. The Lions were straight up controlling that game, sitting on a 21-3 lead thanks in no small part to No. 0’s incredible performance. With eight games still left on the schedule, it feels like it’s not a question of *if* he’ll break Davis’s record, but *when*.
A Duo Making History, Too
And Gibbs wasn’t the only Lion making noise. He and wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown are quickly becoming one of the most dynamic duos in the NFL. When St. Brown hit the end zone for the first time since September, also in his mother’s home country of Germany, it marked the 24th time both he and Gibbs have scored touchdowns in the same game. That’s not just good, it’s record-breaking! They’ve now surpassed the Buffalo Bills’ legendary RB-WR combo of Andre Reed and Thurman Thomas, who did it 23 times. Gibbs and St. Brown are now third for most games where a running back and wide receiver duo have both scored since the 1970 AFL/NFL merger. Talk about a one-two punch that’s rewriting the history books together!
We’re watching something special with Gibbs right now. He’s already tied an NFL record and with a bunch of games still to play this season, it feels like we’re about to see him own that record all by himself. You gotta be hyped for what’s coming next!
