Former Alabama RB Jahmyr Gibbs continues otherworldly effort in Germany with another TD rush
Published:
No matter what country he’s playing in, Jahmyr Gibbs just can’t stop finding the end zone.
One of the NFL’s rising stars took his talents to Germany for the Lions’ clash with the Patriots on Sunday morning, and Gibbs put on a show for the international crowd.
The former Alabama running back recorded his 62nd career touchdown with his second score during the final half of the game, and it was a monumental one for Gibbs. Through just his first 4 seasons in the league, Gibbs has now passed Terrell Davis for the most TDs accounted for over that initial time span.
Per ESPN Insights, Gibbs has also become tied for third all-time in Detroit’s franchise history for touchdowns, with the legendary Barry Sanders (109) and Calvin Johnson (84) still ahead of him.
Gibbs is currently on pace to shatter his own professional single-season touchdown record of 20 (from 2024) this season, as he’s now racked up 11 scores through just 8 games.
As Gibbs looks to keep setting records and eventually break that 20-touchdown mark, he’ll have to do so against a difficult closing schedule that features a pair of meetings with Chicago as well as dates with Green Bay and Minnesota.
