Some were left to wonder if Detroit’s high-octane offense would maintain its creative flair, following the loss of its mastermind coordinator; on the opening play of Week 3’s fourth quarter, Jahmyr Gibbs arrived with a resounding answer. On a tricky, flawlessly-designed play that touched the gloves of three different Pro Bowlers in Lions colors, Gibbs’ breakaway speed proved to be the exclamation point on a go-ahead, four-yard touchdown carry. The play of Gibbs — and his bruising backfield partner — became too much to handle for the Baltimore Ravens’ defense, with “Sonic” helping guide a 38-30 win on Sept. 22, 2025 through a 27-touch, 99-yard, two-touchdown performance.
