Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs once again stole the spotlight — and this time, his girlfriend Nicole Anderson joined in on the fun. After the Lions’ big win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Anderson shared a lighthearted reaction to a video of Gibbs celebrating his explosive 78-yard touchdown run, and fans couldn’t get enough of it.
The Lions leaned heavily on Gibbs and quarterback Jared Goff, and the duo didn’t disappoint. Their chemistry on the field helped secure yet another crucial victory for Detroit, keeping the team’s momentum alive heading into the bye week.
Gibbs’ Breakout Game Earns Dan Campbell’s Praise
Head coach Dan Campbell was thrilled with Gibbs’ performance, describing it as the culmination of weeks of steady progress and hard work.
“You could just feel this coming,” Campbell said after the win. “Each week he’s gotten stronger, faster, and more confident. He’s learning to break tackles, find lanes, and trust his instincts. Tonight was the moment where it all came together — and I don’t think he’ll be slowing down anytime soon.”
Campbell’s confidence mirrors the overall sentiment within the Lions locker room, as teammates celebrated Gibbs’ breakout night. Quarterback Jared Goff also spoke highly of the young running back, calling him a “rare talent” who brings something special to Detroit’s offense.
Hungry for More
Gibbs’ performance against Tampa Bay not only energized fans but also fueled his own motivation. The rookie running back appears eager to build on this momentum once the team returns from its bye week — a mindset that perfectly aligns with Campbell’s tough, relentless philosophy.
