The Lions burned their last timeout in the fourth quarter of Sunday's win over the Giants because head coach Dan Campbell's headset wasn't functioning properly and he couldn't get the play call to quarterback Jared Goff.

Gibbs has averaged 194 scrimmage yards per game since Campbell started calling plays, proving he's not just a big-play threat but a complete back who can carry the Lions through their toughest tests.

Yes, the Giants lost, but interim coach Mike Kafka's trick plays reminded of the 49ers' coaching legend and Kafka's counterpart in Detroit.

The electric third-year running back lived up to his Sonic nickname in a big way with his heroics against the Giants in Week 12.

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta, who ranks second on the team with 40 receptions this season and is a key part of what's been a 12 personnel-heavy offense, is unlikely to return from injured reserve this season, according to head coach Dan Campbell.
