Drew Petzing on what has impressed him most about Jahmyr Gibbs https://t.co/Q2Thvs0wlb Via @Lions on X

What happened: Detroit offensive coordinator Drew Petzing discussed Jahmyr Gibbs and his early-season form. Gibbs entered October as Detroit's lead back after a 1,223-yard, 13-touchdown 2025 season.

Why it matters: Gibbs tops NFL running backs with a 91.0 offensive grade, ahead of Walker at 90.6. That production anchors Detroit's run game during the 2026 regular season.

By the numbers: 2025: 243 carries, 1,223 yards, 13 touchdowns in 17 games. 2026: 91.0 offensive grade, first among NFL backs.

What to watch: Detroit continues its 2026 regular-season schedule with Gibbs as the lead back. Next availability will show how Petzing deploys him from week to week.
