After his monster game helped the Detroit Lions take down the Minnesota Vikings and earn their first division title in 30 years, rookie Jahmyr Gib bs got an early Christmas present from the NFL — a random drug test.Gibbs racked up 100 yards from scrimmage and scored twice in his team’s 30-24 win on December 24, a victory that sealed an NFC North title for the Lions. After the game, Gibbs took to social media to share an image of a league-mandated drug test and a trolling message to the league.
Gibbs had a strong all-around game against the Vikings, rushing 15 times for 80 yards with two touchdowns and adding for catches for 20 yards. The first-round pick has now scored a touchdown in three straight games, helping the Lions shake off a stretch where they lost two out of three games. Saturday’s win allowed them to clinch their first division title since 1993 and ensure at least one home game in the playoffs.
The rookie now has 872 yards and nine rushing touchdowns to go with 51 catches for 316 yards and a receiving touchdown. As WXYZ noted, Gibbs is having a historic season for the Lions as he passed Mel Farr for the fifth-most scrimmage yards for a rookie with two games still to play.
