Gibbs and the Lions finished with a record of 15-2 last season and were the first seed in the NFC. However, injuries to multiple key players on defense ultimately proved too hard to overcome for them.

Detroit lost 45-31 to the Washington Commanders in the NFC Divisional Round and, once again, fell short of their goal to win the Super Bowl. Gibbs had a phenomenal season as he rushed for 1,412 yards and 16 touchdowns in 17 games while also recording 52 receptions for 517 yards and four touchdowns.

In the loss against the Commanders, the 22-year-old running back had 14 carries for 105 yards and two touchdowns, along with six receptions for 70 yards.

Unfortunately, the Lions' defense failed to stop Jayden Daniels and Co. It resulted in Jared Goff trying to overdo things, and the Lions quarterback ended up throwing three interceptions in the game.

Detroit still has one of the best rosters in the league and will be a Super Bowl contender next season. Hopefully, their players will be able to stay healthy this time around.
