Jahmyr Gibbs, the dynamic running back for the Detroit Lions, put on a performance for the ages during last weekend’s electrifying victory over the Minnesota Vikings. Gibbs didn’t just show up – he showed out, racking up a remarkable 139 rushing yards and finding the end zone three times.
As if that wasn’t enough, he added 31 receiving yards to his stat sheet, coupled with another touchdown reception. This incredible four-touchdown display not only tied the Lions’ single-game record but also crowned Gibbs as the NFL’s touchdown leader for the 2024 season, with an impressive 20 touchdowns to his name.
Thanks to this standout performance, Gibbs has earned a well-deserved nod as one of the three nominees for the FedEx Ground Player of the Week. It’s no surprise that his blend of power, speed, and elusiveness has caught the attention of fans and analysts alike.
The opportunity for fans to get involved in celebrating Gibbs’ phenomenal week is available via NFL.com/FedEx, where they can cast their votes for their favorite performances from the league’s skill position players. Unlike traditional awards, the FedEx Air & Ground Players of the Week have shifted to a more inclusive format, allowing fans to vote for any player, regardless of their position.
Voting is open until 3:00 PM ET on Wednesday, and the two players with the most votes will be honored as the week’s top performers.
So, Lions fans, and all those who appreciate a dazzling display of talent on the gridiron, this is your chance to recognize Gibbs’ spectacular feat. Whether you’re logging on from home, a tailgate party, or anywhere else, make sure your voice is heard and support your favorite playmaker.
