With the game knotted at 27 apiece on the opening play of overtime, Gibbs didn't waste any time putting Detroit ahead for good with a 69-yard touchdown, which was his third of the day. Gibbs finished with 264 scrimmage yards, the third-most in a game in Lions history. He had 15 carries for 219 rushing yards and 11 receptions for 45 receiving yards as the Lions narrowly avoided an upset loss.
Because scoring a goal is very, very hard, sometimes they do get lucky. But on Monday against Columbus, McDavid made it all the way. Twice. With Edmonton reeling from a 9-1 loss to the Avalanche (in which they played not zero, but two goalies), the captain who signed that cheap little extension at the start of this season helped pilot them to a dramatic overtime comeback win with a pair of goals that'll make year-end highlight reels.
