Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs found his No. 1 cheerleader in girlfriend Nicole Anderson. “26 is my lucky number 🦁 ,” Anderson wrote via Instagram in November 2024, referring to Gibbs’ jersey number.

Gibbs has 2,357 rushing yards, 833 receiving yards and 31 touchdowns in two NFL seasons, leading the league with 20 TDs this year and spearheading the Detroit Lions (15-2) to the NFC’s No. 1 seed and a divisional playoff game Saturday against the Washington Commanders.

Jahmyr Gibbs was selected by the Detroit Lions in the first round of the 2023 NFL draft in a controversial pick. Here are his stats, bio and more.

The Lions running back trolled Kevin Durant after a touchdown run, but the Suns star — and Commanders fan — delivered the final jab after Washington’s win.

In their 45-31 loss vs. Commanders in the divisional round, Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs joined elite company alongside Gale Sayers in NFL history.

The Detroit Lions struck first in the franchise's divisional round game against the Washington Commanders on Saturday. After Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs scored the first points of the day with a one-yard touchdown run, he copied Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant's dance to celebrate.

Of those 71 yards, Gibbs had 48, including a 15-yard run, a 23-yard reception, a nine-yard run and the one-yard touchdown. The early three-and-out has quickly been forgotten as the Lions struck first and took a 7-0 lead as they look for the franchise’s first time hosting the NFC Championship Game.
