DETROIT, Oct. 6, 2025— The Detroit Lions roared to victory on Sunday as running back David Montgomery delivered a commanding performance, leading his team past the Cincinnati Bengals with two touchdowns and over 100 rushing yards. The matchup, held at Ford Field, electrified fans and further solidified the Lions’ momentum this season.
Montgomery opened the game with an explosive first-half touchdown that set the tone for the Lions’ offensive dominance. By the fourth quarter, his second rushing touchdown put the game out of reach, sealing Detroit’s 27–17 win over Cincinnati.
Head coach Dan Campbell praised Montgomery’s resilience and leadership.
“David played with heart and power today,” Campbell said after the game. “He found the lanes, fought for every yard, and gave this team the energy we needed.”
Montgomery, speaking in the locker room, shifted the spotlight back to his teammates.
“This was a team win,” Montgomery said. “The offensive line created the space, and all I had to do was follow through. We’re building something special here in Detroit.”
The Bengals, meanwhile, struggled to contain Detroit’s rushing attack and will face scrutiny over defensive breakdowns. Bengals linebacker Logan Wilson admitted the team “missed key tackles that cost us momentum.”
With this win, Detroit advances in the NFC standings, earning praise for their balance on both sides of the ball. Analysts suggest that Montgomery’s consistency could be pivotal as the Lions push for a playoff berth.
Next Steps: The Lions will face the Green Bay Packers next week in a crucial divisional clash. The Bengals aim to regroup before hosting the Baltimore Ravens.
