Jahmyr Gibbs holds the key to unlocking Lions' offense against Buccaneers

The Detroit Lions have one of the best and most explosive offenses in the NFL this season, and that's been due in large part to their strong running game. Detroit's combo of David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs are routinely able to put together 100 yard games and multiple touchdown efforts. That ability helps the Lions be dangerous in the play action game, helping Jared Goff to be lethal down the field with his receiver targets. So far, Detroit's run game ranks No. 8 overall in the league, and have gone for 128.7 yards per-game on the ground with 772 total yards. Their offensive line has played well enough to dominate games. In spite of that success, they weren't as effective in the second-half against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Lions only rushed for 98 yards and no touchdowns on the night, which was likely a big reason they went on to lose 30-17. Without the ground game to chew up clock and help the defense overcommit, the Chiefs were able to make Detroit one-dimensional and limit their ability to hit bigger
