Lions lean on Jahmyr Gibbs’ legs, Jared Goff’s arm in 26-14 win over offensively challenged Raiders

Associated Press  

DETROIT — The Detroit Lions can trace their turnaround to hitting more than missing in the draft. Gibbs ran for a season-high 152 yards and a touchdown, LaPorta had eight receptions for 57 yards with a score, and the rookies helped the Lions beat the Las Vegas Raiders 26-14 on Monday night. “You could tell he was feeling it.” The NFC North-leading Lions stalled on three early drives, turned the ball over three times, missed a field goal and still won by double digits. Jared Goff threw an interception that Marcus Peters returned 75 yards for a touchdown early in the third quarter, allowing Las Vegas to pull within two points. The 2022 All-Pro running back finished with 15 carries for 61 yards and a 3-yard touchdown late in the first half that cut the Raiders’ deficit to 9-7.
