Jahmyr Gibbs Is Becoming the Focal Point of Fully-Loaded Lions Offense

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs decided to dress up like Barry Sanders during the this year's Halloween edition of Monday Night Football.

The 12th overall pick in April's draft didn't have the start to his rookie season that many expected when the Lions unexpectedly drafted him as high as the organization did. But his performance over the last two weeks, including 189 yards from scrimmage during Monday's 26-14 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders, has been absolutely electric and shows the potential of what Gibbs could become as the focal point of Detroit's offense.

The rookie's performance eclipsed the entire Raiders' offensive output and showed how he can be a force throughout the rest of the season, even when David Montgomery returns to the lineup.
