Additionally, he contributed 65 yards on eight receptions and scored a third touchdown. Gibbs' performance was instrumental in Detroit's 31-24 victory, securing the Lions' 2-1 season record. Following the game, the odds for the Offensive Player of the Year award moved in Gibbs' favor on FanDuel Sportsbook, climbing from +300 to +600. The competition for the top spot remains close, with Amon-Ra St. Brown of the Saints and Chris Olave of the New Orleans Saints close behind at +2500.
