DETROIT – In the opening game against the Green Bay Packers, the Detroit Lions offense wasted little time putting up points as running back David Montgomery marched into the end zone and scored a 3-yard touchdown.

Montgomery gave Detroit a 7-0 lead when he sprinted around the right end.

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