STACKED’s take

Gibbs delivered on the Lions' offseason promise to make him the bell-cow back, playing 57 of 77 offensive snaps (74%, fifth-highest of his career) in Week 1 against New Orleans. He rushed 29 times (career high) and caught five passes for 34 total touches (career high), generating 186 yards of offense and two touchdowns while forcing 12 missed tackles—the most in any game of his career. Coach Dan Campbell confirmed the workload was intentional: "You know what I like? Winning the game, man, and we were going to win this game. That guy's our hot hand." Campbell noted Gibbs is in "phenomenal shape" and "the best shape I've seen since he's been here," though the team will monitor usage going forward.
