Detroit Lions RBs Montgomery Gibbs Set NFL Rushing TD Duo Record in Win

Though long known for its passing attack, the Detroit Lions leaned on the run in a 38-30 Monday Night win over the Baltimore Ravens as Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery spearheaded a dominant ground game. Montgomery torched Baltimore with 12 carries for 151 yards and two touchdowns, while Gibbs added 22 rushes for 67 yards, two rushing TDs and five catches for 32 yards. Each back scoring two rushing touchdowns tied a Lions record that dated to Nov. 15, 1936 (Dutch Clark and Ernie Caddel). The pair also set a new NFL record by recording rushing touchdowns in the same game for the 11th time, surpassing historic backfield duos. Gibbs further joined elite Monday Night Football company by becoming the seventh RB with 500+ scrimmage yards and at least five touchdowns in his first four MNF appearances.
