Sonic has raced into the record books. Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs, thanks to his hat trick Sunday night against the Vikings, now stands alone with the most touchdowns in a single season in Lions franchise history.
Gibbs’ second touchdown of the night is the one that set the record at 18. He has since added to that number for good measure, now sitting with 19 total touchdowns, which leads all players in the NFL, giving him the crown in that department as well for the season.

Gibbs was recently named to his second Pro Bowl in as many seasons. He’s quickly becoming one of the stars of the NFL and a key reason why the Lions look to be on their way to the No. 1 seed in the NFC.
Gibbs broke the record previously held by Jamaal Williams, who had 17 in 2017.
Update: Gibbs added a fourth touchdown and now has 20 touchdowns for the season.
