David Montgomery reaches double-digit rushing touchdowns early in first quarter

Knuckles is at it again. David Montgomery wasted little time getting on the board in Week 14. Montgomery closed out an 11-play, 70-yard drive with a three-yard touchdown run. Jake Bates’ extra point put the Lions up 7-0 after their first drive of the game.

The touchdown was Montgomery’s 12th rushing touchdown of the season. That’s back-to-back seasons with 12+ rushing touchdowns for Montgomery — he had 13 last season. He becomes just the third Lions player to post 12+ rushing touchdowns in consecutive seasons. Barry Sanders (1989-91) and Billy Sims (1980-81) are the others.
