Sione Vaki Emerges as Lions Change-of-Pace Back Behind Gibbs

Detroit Lions running back Sione Vaki delivered a career-high 11 carries for 65 yards in Sunday's win over the Minnesota Vikings. Challenged by head coach Dan Campbell to step up and provide breathers for heavily used starter Jahmyr Gibbs, Vaki displayed a direct running style and solid pass protection, earning significant trust from the coaching staff and offensive line.
