David Montgomery scored the first touchdown for the Detroit Lions in their game against the Seattle Seahawks, giving the Lions a 7-0 lead. Montgomery's 1-yard touchdown came after a 97-yard drive, during which he slithered through Tyrel Dodson's tackle attempt. He has now scored a touchdown in seven consecutive games, tying the Lions' franchise record set by Billy Sims. Montgomery's performance has been notable, as he has averaged 0.11 expected points added (EPA) per play on rushing attempts since the 2023 season, the best among qualified NFL running backs. This touchdown also marked the third consecutive week that Montgomery scored the first touchdown for the Lions.
