The Detroit Lions defeated the Tanpa Bay Buccaneers on "Monday Night Football," 24-9.

Both teams moved to 5-2 after the Monday night game, and the Lins responded after losing to the Kansas City Chiefs last Sunday, 30-17.

Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs led the way with a massive game for the team.

Gibbs ran for 136 yards with two touchdowns on 17 carries, and he added three catches for 82 yards in a strong outing.

The 2023 No. 12 overall pick passed the 100-yard mark for the first time this season, and the 82 receiving yards also set a season high for the former Alabama Crimson Tide star.

During the game, the Lions posted a piece of history that Gibbs set on Monday night.

"Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs is the 10th player in @NFL history to produce a game with at least 135 rushing yards, 80 receiving yards and two rushing TDs. The last player to do so was Chris Johnson in 2009. Gibbs reached those totals with 4:39 left in the third quarter."
