NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs has dominated the Patriots’ defense in Munich, Germany, accumulating 171 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown as the Lions lead 21-3 late in the second quarter.
- Gibbs has rushed 13 times for 93 yards and a touchdown, along with four receptions for 78 yards, exposing significant weaknesses in the Patriots’ defense.
- This marks the second consecutive poor defensive performance for New England, following a tough outing against the Packers’ passing attack last week.
- The Patriots’ offense is also struggling, largely due to quarterback Drake Maye’s ankle injury sustained on the opening possession, forcing backup Tommy DeVito to take over.
- With DeVito leading the offense, the Patriots face an uphill battle to mount a second-half comeback and avoid a two-game losing streak in Germany.
