Christmas Day Showdown: Which NFL Teams Are Poised for Unforgettable Holiday Victory?

Out of the 12 set with seven men in the box, neither Gibbs nor David Montgomery could find room to run, with Montgomery carrying the ball seven times for 25 yards, averaging 1.7 yards before contact. Gibbs ran five times for 17 yards, averaging 2.2 yards before contact. With Minnesota focused on stopping the run, the Lions finished the game with just 65 yards and averaged 3.3 yards per carry.

On 43 carries out of a 12 personnel against seven defenders in the box on the season, Montgomery is averaging 3.8 yards per carry – the seventh fewest out of the 31 running backs with at least 20 such carries. This is a far cry from when Detroit lines up in a 11 set against seven defenders in the box, with Gibbs averaging 6.9 yards and Montgomery averaging 6.6, ranking them second and third in the NFL behind the Los Angeles Rams’ Blake Corum’s average of 7.2.
