Jahmyr Gibbs roasts himself for what he did to stay warm in Lions win vs. Bears

When it comes to staying warm on a football field, NFL players will go to extra lengths to ensure being comfortable. And that was the case with Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs, who chose to wear a mask in Week 16.

During the game against the Chicago Bears on Sunday, Gibbs was sporting a mask to keep his face warm in the cold temperatures. The Lions running back's mask was huge and covered everything but his eyes.

After the 34-17 win over Chicago, the Lions shared a photo of quarterback Jared Goff and Gibbs on social media and his face covering was on full display in it. Gibbs got wind of the photo and went on to roast himself.

Gibbs' mask didn't last long, as it appears he took it off after a drive or two. Mask or no mask, Gibbs was sensational in the Lions' first game without fellow running back David Montgomery.

Gibbs took on the workhorse role against the Bears, carrying the ball 23 times for 109 yards and a touchdown, while also adding four catches for 45 yards.

"I think for him it's going to be, we've got to use and maximize the reps that we have for him, and be careful that we don't give him too much," head coach Dan Campbell said of Gibbs before the Bears game. "We've still got to be able to be smart with him, but we need him -- we need him and that's the trick. So, those other guys, Craig's going to need to help us, which, he'll be ready, and Vaki, potentially, as well."

While Gibbs took on a lot of work, the Lions were able to give some reps to guys like Craig Reynolds and Jermar Jefferson, who combined for nine touches. Rookie Sione Vaki also handled a pair of receptions.

The hope is that Montgomery, who was initially believed to have suffered a season-ending torn MCL, will make it back by the playoffs.

In the meantime, the Lions are in good hands with Gibbs.
