The Jaw-Dropping Detroit Lions Moment That Defined David Montgomery’s Career
Let’s take all of those plays together, and share our favorites. Today’s Question of the Day is:
What was David Montgomery’s best play as a Detroit Lion?
My answer: There are several that come to mind. His 72-yard run against the Ravens last year—or the 31-yard touchdown run that clinched that game. I was in attendance for his 75-yard touchdown run in Los Angeles against the Chargers in an epic shootout game.
But nothing—I MEAN NOTHING—tops the catch and run he had at home against the Seattle Seahawks in 2024.
It was “Monday Night Football” and the Lions were up 21-14 against a Seahawks team that seemingly had their number. Jared Goff, on a play-action pass, decided his first few reads weren’t there, so he checked down to Montgomery. Unfortunately for the Lions, Devon Witherspoon read the play immediately, and was charging full speed at Montgomery. By the time Montgomery had caught the ball and turned downfield, Witherspoon was on him.
