Former Alabama running back Jahmyr Gibbs is one of the most dynamic playmakers in the NFL at the running back position. Gibbs shows this playmaking ability in NFL Week 9, as the RB rushed into the end zone for a 15-yard score in the 3rd quarter.

The score gave Gibbs’ Lions a 24-3 lead over their division rivals, the Green Bay Packers.

At the start of the 4th quarter, the Lions led 24-6 over the Packers. At this point, Gibbs had 9 carries for 58 yards and a score. The RB also had 1 catch for 11 yards.

Heading into Week 9, Gibbs was 8th in the NFL with 591 rushing yards. The former Tide playmaker is having another strong year, with 154 receiving yards to add to his rushing production.

Gibbs entered the NFL after being selected in the 1st round of the 2023 NFL Draft. As a rookie, Gibbs had 945 rushing yards and 10 scores. The Alabama product added 52 catches for 316 yards and 1 receiving touchdown. That first season led to Gibbs being selected to the Pro Bowl as a rookie.

Before playing in the NFL, Gibbs played for Alabama. The RB transferred to Alabama ahead of the 2022 season after spending his first 2 college seasons at Georgia Tech. In his lone season in Tuscaloosa, Gibbs rushed for 926 yards and 7 touchdowns while catching 44 passes for 444 yards and 3 receiving scores.

If Gibbs’ team gets a win in Week 9, they will improve to 7-1 and be in firm control of the NFC North.
