Lions defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard called the Lions' defensive fill-ins "nameless" as he received a game ball from linebacker Derrick Barnes after Detroit's win Monday night, but cornerback Nick Whiteside certainly made a name for himself with his play.

The player who sparked some life into the offense was running back Jahmyr Gibbs. On the first drive alone, Gibbs got four touches in a row, totaling 37 yards, to set up an Amon-Ra St. Brown touchdown. He was more involved in the passing game this time around, with 30 of those yards coming from a catch-and-run that put the Lions in scoring range.
