On why the Lions are able to have success despite newcomers playing significant snaps:

The Lions coach praised Jahmyr Gibbs along with two key defenders for their efforts on Monday night versus the Bucs.

Led by Jahmyr Gibbs and some stellar defensive play, the Lions pulled out an impressive win over the Buccaneers on Monday night.

The Detroit Lions took down the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 24-9 on Monday Night Football, led by Jahmyr Gibbs and a dominant Detroit defense.

The Detroit Lions' defensive backs showed immense support for one of their teammates on Monday night, who was missing in action from the team's primetime win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Following the game,

Detroit’s taped-together secondary was the catalyst for a lights-out defensive showing in Monday night's 24-9 win against the Buccaneers.

Detroit got a superb all-around performance from its linebacking corps, as Jack Campbell, Alex Anzalone and Derrick Barnes were all exceptional. Campbell stuffed the stat sheet with eight total tackles, a sack, two tackles for loss and a pass defensed.

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.

The Detroit Lions were facing the No. 1 seed in the NFC, and Dan Campbell's Lions didn't have any starting defensive backs available for the game. No problem.

The final Monday night doubleheader of the season is taking place in Week 7, and there are two big games on the schedule. In the early game, the Detroit Lions (5-2) pulled off a dominant performance in a 24-9 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (5-2).
