Detroit Lions reports
Jahmyr Gibbs and a 24-point second quarter carry Lions past Cardinals 45-21
Detroit turned an early deficit into a runaway with a punishing second quarter, then leaned on Jahmyr Gibbs and Jared Goff to finish a 45-21 win over the Arizona Cardinals at State Farm Stadium.
Read the report ↗Panthers outlast Lions 32-26 behind Bryce Young, Tetairoa McMillan and Chuba Hubbard
Carolina survived a high-yardage Detroit passing day by finishing more drives and leaning on a balanced offensive trio, beating the Lions 32-26 on Sunday at Bank of America Stadium.
Read the report ↗Jahmyr Gibbs answers late Jets rally as Lions hold on for 31-24 win
Jahmyr Gibbs gave Detroit the final answer Sunday, catching an 11-yard touchdown pass from Jared Goff with 2:25 remaining to lift the Lions past the New York Jets 31-24 at Ford Field after New York had erased a 14-point fourth-quarter deficit.
Read the report ↗Bills turn every key situation into points in 41-31 win over Lions
Buffalo did not beat Detroit with one flurry so much as with a full night of answers. The Bills ran for 203 yards, converted 9 of 12 third downs and went 5-for-5 in the red zone, building a 41-31 win at Highmark Stadium that held up even against Jared Goff’s four touchdown passes.
Read the report ↗Jahmyr Gibbs and Amon-Ra St. Brown carried Detroit past New Orleans in a 31-30 overtime escape
The Detroit Lions won a game that looked comfortable, then chaotic, then balanced on a single missed conversion. Their 31-30 overtime result against the New Orleans Saints at Ford Field was not built on gaudy passing numbers or flawless defense. It was built on timely scoring from Jahmyr Gibbs and Amon-Ra St. Brown, and on being just a little cleaner than a Saints team that moved the ball all afternoon but left too much behind.
