Dan Campbell says pass protection shows why Jahmyr Gibbs is different from other backs

Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs set the NFL record for most touchdowns before turning 25 on Sunday. But Lions coach Dan Campbell says it was a teammate’s touchdown that showed what a special player Gibbs is. On a fourth-and-1 touchdown pass from Jared Goff to Sam LaPorta, Gibbs made the key block in pass protection that gave Goff time to pass. Campbell said after watching the film he sought Gibbs out to praise his blocking on that play. “I hit him up this morning,” Campbell said.
