Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs is making a mockery of the Patriots’ defense today in Munich, Germany.
Gibbs has 171 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown as the Lions have cruised to a 21-3 lead late in the second quarter. Gibbs has 13 carries for 93 yards and a touchdown, plus another four catches for 78 receiving yards. The Patriots’ defense has had no answer for him.

It’s the second consecutive ugly outing for New England’s defense, which was shredded by the Packers’ passing game last week.
The Patriots’ offense is also struggling, but that appears to be mostly due to the injury suffered by quarterback Drake Maye on New England’s opening possession. The Patriots had been marching down the field until Maye was sacked by Aidan Hutchinson on third-and-goal, and Maye was knocked out of the game with an ankle injury. After the field goal immediately following that sack, the Patriots haven’t scored.
It’s hard to imagine the Patriots mounting a second-half comeback with Tommy DeVito at the helm, but that’s what they’ll have to do if they’re going to avoid heading home from Germany on a two-game losing streak.
