Detroit Lions Extend NFL Record with 24-9 Victory Over Buccaneers

Jahmyr Gibbs led the Detroit Lions to a 24-9 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with a career-high 218 yards from scrimmage, including a 78-yard touchdown run and a 5-yard touchdown plunge. Gibbs' performance marks the first time since 2009 that an NFL player has recorded at least 135 rushing yards, 80 receiving yards, and two rushing touchdowns in a game. The Lions improved to 5-2, extending their NFL-long streak of 51 regular-season games without consecutive losses. Despite being outgained by over 200 yards in the first half, Tampa Bay trailed due to turnovers and missed scoring opportunities, including an interception and fumble by Detroit quarterback Jared Goff. Tampa Bay rookie Tez Johnson scored a 22-yard touchdown to narrow the gap, but the Buccaneers could not contain Gibbs, who also contributed crucial yardage on a drive leading to another Lions touchdown. Detroit's Jared Goff threw for 241 yards and a touchdown, while Tampa Bay's Baker Mayfield finished with 228 yards, one touchdown, and one interception against a depleted defense.
