description

Celebrated and debated at once for their tendency to roll the dice in late-game situations, the Detroit Lions entered Week 1’s overtime affair prepared to stick to only the safest, most dependable of probabliities. Keeping the game’s outcome closely tethered to the frame of its bruising, 224-pound running back, Detroit deployed David Montgomery for a pair of carries, totaling 30 yards, before giving the ball for three additional totes soon thereafter. Like a video game character storing its finishing move, Detroit utilized Montgomery once more for a one-yard touchdown, conquering the Los Angeles Rams for a 26-20 overtime win on Sept. 8, 2024. One half of an unguardable one-two punch in the backfield, Montgomery turned in an 18-touch, 93-yard, one-touchdown effort.
