The Detroit Lions showed why they have the NFL’s most explosive offense on their second possession of Saturday’s NFC divisional round game against the Washington Commanders.
Second-year running back Jahmyr Gibbs touched the ball four times for 48 yards, including a one-yard touchdown to give Detroit an early 7-0 lead.
Once Gibbs scored, he celebrated. And his celebration was a familiar one if you’re an NBA fan — specifically a Kevin Durant fan. Gibbs mocked Durant’s dance.
This wouldn’t be a big deal, as most would consider Gibbs to be paying homage to one of the NBA’s top stars. However, Durant is a Washington fan — a massive fan. And he predicted a Commanders’ win over the Lions.
Here’s the touchdown celebration, and Gibbs nailed it.
As expected, Durant was watching and responded.
Overall, Durant should be happy, though, as the Commanders went into halftime with a 31-21 lead.
