The Detroit Lions have the opportunity to accomplish several milestones this week, when they step foot at Ford Field to face the Minnesota Vikings.

Running back David Montgomery, who is very close to a 1,000-yard rushing season, has had a successful first season in Motown, aided by the entire offense, according to running backs coach Scottie Montgomery.

Montgomery told reporters this week, “I’d be remiss if I (didn’t express) we have the O-line that we have, if I (didn’t express) we have our tight ends. If you look at our receivers in the force-blocking game, on the perimeter, which can be complicated, they give our guys an exceptional chance to get to the next level.”

Play Michigan lead writer Drew Ellis believes Montgomery will cap off a successful 2023 season with a touchdown at home against Minnesota.
