Jahmyr Gibbs makes up one half of the Detroit Lions' dynamic duo in the backfield. Gibbs is known as the speedster, nicknamed "Sonic," whereas David Montgomery is more of a bruising back and earned the nickname "Knuckles."

While we have seen plenty of games where both backs have been featured, Detroit's dominant 44-22 win over the Washington Commanders was Gibbs' time to shine. He finished the game with over 140 rushing yards and three total touchdowns. The Lions scored at least nine points in each quarter in the win and the Commanders' defense had no solution for the star running back. 

Here is more on Gibbs' big day against Washington.
