DETROIT — On the opening drive against the Green Bay Packers, the Detroit Lions‘ offense wasted little time putting points on the board as running back David Montgomery marched into the end zone for a 3-yard touchdown.

Montgomery helped Detroit take a 7-0 lead as he sprinted around the right end.

The score capped off a 70-yard, 11-play drive that took 5:19. It was Montgomery’s 12th rushing touchdown of the season, becoming the third player in franchise history to rush for 12 or more touchdowns in consecutive seasons, joining Barry Sanders (1989-91) and Billy Sims (1980-81).
