RB David Montgomery Goes for 141 Yards & 3 TDs as Lions Beat Packers (34-20) on the Road

Smash mouth Dan Campbell football prevails once again! The Detroit Lions went into Lambeau Field and lit up the Packers on Thursday Night Football behind a ferocious defense and a deadly run-game that featured a heavy handoff ratio of RB David Montgomery. The Lions exploded early and took a 27-3 lead into halftime, but the Packers remained resilient and pulled within 10 (27-17) in the fourth quarter. But the Lions controlled the clock and forced four turnovers (2 INTs, 2 fumbles) to pull out the road win (34-20) and take the outright lead in the NFC North.

Watch: Montgomery, Lions Run Over Packers on TNF (34-20)

The Lions are now in charge of a pretty lopsided division race early on. After beating the Chiefs on opening night, Detroit’s overtime loss to the Seahawks (37-31, OT) in Week 2 is the only blemish on the record. No Rodgers in the division could finally open the gates for the Lions. They’ve now beaten the Packers in four straight games dating back to 2021.
