Summary
- Jahmyr Gibbs scored a 69-yard game-winning touchdown in overtime.

- Jameis Winston contributed a touchdown catch on a trick play for the Giants.

The Detroit Lions clinched a thrilling 34-27 overtime victory against the New York Giants, largely due to an exceptional performance by running back Jahmyr Gibbs. Gibbs delivered the decisive blow with a spectacular 69-yard touchdown run on the opening play of overtime, capping a day where he accumulated 219 rushing yards and two touchdowns, in addition to receiving yardage and a score. This win improved the Lions' record to 7-4 and kept them firmly in the NFC North race.
The Giants, despite being outplayed in crucial moments, put up a significant fight. Quarterback Jameis Winston engineered several impressive offensive sequences, including a trick play where he caught a 33-yard touchdown pass from receiver Gunner Olszewski. However, the Giants ultimately faltered, allowing a late 59-yard field goal by Jake Bates to force overtime and then being unable to convert on fourth down, leading to their defeat.
