BB.JAHMYR GIBBS OFFICIALLY “SEIZES” THE WORKHORSE THRONE: 10 CONSECUTIVE WEEK STEALING ALL DOSSIERS – THE LIONS WILL HAVE A REAL RB1!
Three times in their last five games, the Detroit Lions have put up less than 320 yards of offense and they’ve lost all three. Outside of Week 10 against a bad Washington Commanders defense, the offense has not looked good over those five games. It’s becoming a legit concern, whether those closest to it want to admit it or not.
He has not been immune to an occasional dud amid the Lions’ recent offensive struggles. But running back Jahmyr Gibbs has generally been very productive, as he has become the Lions’ clear lead back this season with David Montgomery in more of a background role (for better or worse).
Through Week 11, Gibbs is top-10 in the league in rushing (732 yards), yards from scrimmage (1,066), rushing touchdowns (eight), and total touchdowns (10). If the offense was better overall, those numbers would all be better.
Jahmyr Gibbs has been as reliable as he has been good this season
While an overall lack of sharpness and execution has been a far bigger issue than turnovers for the Lions’ offense through 10 games, Gibbs has taken his ability to avoid losing control of the ball (three fumbles over his first two seasons) to another level so far this season.
Gibbs has seen a total of 183 opportunities (carries and targets) this season. According to Ian Hartitz of Fantasy Life, as he subsequently noted, what is credited as a dropped pass can vary based on the source (Pro Football Reference has Gibbs with one drop, as an example), that is the most carries and targets without a fumble or a drop in the league thus far.
Led by Gibbs, here is Hartitz’s list of those who have yet to fumble or otherwise drop the football this season:
-Jahmyr Gibbs (183)
-Quinshon Judkins (177)
-Rachaad White (129)
-Zach Charbonnet (115)
-RJ Harvey (93)
-Bhayshul Tuten (71)
-Brian Robinson (65)
-Chris Rodriguez (61)
In the comments to that Twitter post, when it was brought up, Hartitz fully acknowledged the analyst jinx he may have put on Gibbs and the others on that list of non-fumblers. So if Gibbs fumbles in Week 12 against the New York Giants, Lions’ fans know exactly where to direct all of their ire.
The preseason idea of Gibbs taking on a bigger role in the Lions’ offense has come to fruition through 10 games, to pretty good effect. And any concern there might have been about an increased workload decreasing his level of ball security has also been put to bed.
BREAKING: Saints Coach Kellen Moore Drops Explosive Video After 24–10 Loss to Falcons
In a bold move that has sent shockwaves throughout the NFL, New Orleans Saints head coach Kellen Moore has released a 15-second video calling out what he claims are critical officiating errors that played a pivotal role in the Saints’ 24–10 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. The explosive video has sparked intense debate, with Moore demanding an immediate league review of the game’s officiating.
“It’s not just about the loss, it’s about the integrity of the game,” Moore says in the video, visibly frustrated. “There were glaring officiating mistakes that impacted the outcome. I’m calling for a full review by the NFL.” The video has quickly gone viral, with the NFL community buzzing over Moore’s powerful statement and his challenge to the league’s authority.
The Falcons’ coaching staff wasted no time firing back, releasing a sharp 15-word response: “We played the game, we won the game. There are no excuses for the loss.” The swift rebuttal from Atlanta signals their steadfast belief in the legitimacy of their win, and they are not backing down from the controversy.
However, the fallout from Moore’s video doesn’t end there. Standout Saints players, including defensive leader Cameron Jordan and star wide receiver Chris Olave, have already begun to publicly express their frustration with the officiating. Jordan, known for his fiery passion, voiced his displeasure on social media, stating, “We deserve better. The game was decided by more than just what we did on the field.” Olave echoed his sentiments, adding, “It’s hard to focus on the game when crucial moments are decided by missed calls.”
As the league reacts to Moore’s explosive video, all eyes will be on how the NFL addresses these concerns. While Moore’s demand for an investigation has fueled the fire, it’s unclear if the league will take formal action or simply allow the incident to fade into the background.
With emotions running high in New Orleans, the Saints are left to contend with the fallout of a bitter loss, while the Falcons celebrate a crucial victory. But as the drama continues to unfold, one thing is clear: this controversy is far from over, and it’s only a matter of time before the NFL is forced to take a closer look at the calls that sparked this heated debate.
