The Lions running back scored twice Sunday as Detroit beat the Cardinals, pushing his career total to 58 touchdowns.
Jahmyr Gibbs added his 7th touchdown of the season on Sunday, his second score of the game, and in doing so moved past Barry Sanders for the most touchdowns scored by a player before turning 25. The 24 year old now has 58 career touchdowns just five games into his fourth season, making him the league's all-time leading touchdown scorer for a player under 25.
The milestone came as the Lions beat the Cardinals, continuing a strong season for Detroit's offense. The Lions rank 1st in the NFL in points scored and 5th in offensive yards, with Jared Goff leading the league in passer rankings and three receivers ranked in the league's Top 30.
Gibbs ranks among the league's Top 3 running backs this season, and his latest record places him alongside one of the most celebrated names in Lions history. Breaking a mark held by Barry Sanders carries particular weight in Detroit, where Sanders remains a franchise icon. With Gibbs still early in his career, his pace for touchdowns continues to draw comparisons to the sport's all time greats.
