Gibbs Hits 60 Career TDs, Tying LaDainian Tomlinson, as Lions Push Their Streak to Four

Lions fans, four straight wins, and Jahmyr Gibbs keeps climbing the history books.

Our Take: The 19-9 win in Miami wasn't pretty, but the numbers behind it say this team has the pieces. The one stat that should bug everyone is third down.

Tim Twentyman of DetroitLions.com said Gibbs' eight-yard touchdown run on 4th-and-1 late in the third quarter gave him 60 career touchdowns. That ties Hall of Famer LaDainian Tomlinson for the second-most touchdowns by any player in his first four NFL seasons, trailing only Terrell Davis (61). The Pro Football Hall of Fame's Week 9 notes say only those two Hall of Famers had reached that level by their fourth season. It was the only touchdown of the game, and Jake Bates went 4-for-4 on field goals.

Up front, Aidan Hutchinson leads the NFL with 50 pressures and Alim McNeill has 34, 84 combined, per Twentyman. Detroit is also allowing just 94.1 rushing yards per game, seventh-best in the league.

The worry: Detroit converts just 37.2 percent on third down, 21st in the NFL, and ranks last on 3rd-and-4 or shorter at 42.3 percent (11-for-26).

What to watch: Sunday's trip to Munich to face the Patriots at 9:30 a.m. ET. Twentyman noted New England (123) and Detroit (120) rank first and second in plays of 10-plus yards.
