The Lions had one of the most impressive drives of the season to take a 14-7 lead on the Ravens.
David Montgomery scored on a 1-yard run after Jahmyr Gibbs scored on a 1-yard run on the Lions’ first drive. It marks the 11th game both running backs have scored, setting a new NFL record. Two other teams had tandem running backs scoring a touchdown in 10 games each.
The Lions chewed up 10:48 in going 98 yards in 18 plays. They were 4-for-4 on third down, including a 14-yard reception by tight end Sam LaPorta on third-and-8.
The Lions were backed up after punt returner Kalif Raymond made an ill-advised decision to catch Jordan Stout’s punt at his own 3. He gained 4 yards, but D.J. Reed backed them up even more with a holding penalty.
That didn’t stop the Lions.
Jared Goff now is 10-of-11 for 116 yards.
