Jahmyr Gibbs ties Barry Sanders for most TDs by a player under 25
Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs made history during Sunday’s matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, tying the NFL record for most touchdowns by a player under 25 years old. Gibbs reached the 57-touchdown mark with a 1-yard score in the second quarter, joining Hall of Famer Barry Sanders on the all-time list.
The young back has already accumulated 45 rushing touchdowns and 12 receiving touchdowns in his career, showcasing his versatility and scoring prowess. With Gibbs not turning 25 until March 2027, he has ample time to surpass the record in the coming seasons.
The Lions took an early lead in the game, with quarterback Jared Goff extending their advantage through a 38-yard touchdown pass to Sam LaPorta on fourth-and-1.
Gibbs’ achievement underscores his rapid rise as one of the league’s most dynamic offensive weapons. His ability to contribute both on the ground and through the air has made him a constant threat for opposing defenses.
The Lions’ offense, led by Goff’s playmaking ability, continues to set the tone early in games, as seen in their 14-7 lead over the Cardinals by the second quarter.
