Lions Defeat Colts, Extend Winning Streak

The Detroit Lions secured a 24-6 victory over the Indianapolis Colts, marking their ninth consecutive win and improving their record to 10-1, the best start since 1934. Jahmyr Gibbs led the charge with two rushing touchdowns, while David Montgomery contributed another, as the Lions' defense extended their streak of not allowing a touchdown for ten quarters. Despite a strong performance by quarterback Jared Goff, who completed 26 of 36 passes for 269 yards, the Colts struggled with penalties and missed opportunities, settling for field goals instead of touchdowns. Indianapolis managed only six points, with quarterback Anthony Richardson completing 11 of 28 passes for 172 yards. The Colts' performance was marred by ten penalties, negating key plays that could have shifted momentum. The Lions' offensive success came amid injuries to key players, including Montgomery and wide receiver Kalif Raymond.
