Jahmyr Gibbs Needs One Td On Sunday To Join 50-in-50 Club

In three seasons, Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs has become a force of nature, despite sharing the load with David Montgomery. On Sunday, Gibbs embarks on his role as the unquestioned main cog in the Detroit backfield.

With a single touchdown against the Saints in the Week 1 game at Ford Field, Gibbs becomes the sixth member of the 50-in-50 club.

Fifty scrimmage touchdowns in 50 career regular-season games.

The others to do it were, per NBC Sports research, Jim Brown, Marcus Allen, Chuck Foreman, Larry Johnson, and Steve Van Buren.

Gibbs already holds the all-time record for total touchdowns in a player's first three seasons, with 49. Given what he has done and what the Lions expect him to do, his new contract (at $22.5 million per year) could be the best dollar-for-dollar value on a second deal that the NFL has ever seen.

His 2026 debut will be tucked into the cluster of 1:00 p.m. ET games. Gibbs will have his first shot at showing what he can do as the unquestioned top tailback in Detroit on a national stage in five days, when the Lions face the Bills on the brand-new grass at the brand-new stadium in Buffalo.
