Lions take 12-7 lead with Jahmyr Gibbs 30-yard touchdown run
The Lions have taken a second-half lead over the Vikings. Jahmyr Gibbs put the ball in the box on an outstanding 30-yard run for a touchdown, giving Detroit a 12-7 advantage with 4:40 left in the third quarter. Gibbs took a pitch in the backfield and ran it up the middle, evading defenders to the left sideline before powering his way past the goal line for the score.
