David Montgomery’s Slow Start Against the Browns
Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery has had a notably quiet start in the Week 4 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. This performance stands in stark contrast to his previous outing, where he dazzled fans with an impressive 151 rushing yards and two touchdowns against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 3.
Contrast in Performance
As the game unfolded, it became clear that Montgomery’s role was significantly diminished in the early stages against Cleveland. After two drives, the ball had yet to find its way into his hands. Instead, the Lions leaned heavily on Jahmyr Gibbs, who took the lead as the primary back during those initial plays.
Montgomery’s Status
Despite the lack of touches, there was no question about Montgomery’s availability. He was active, healthy, and dressed for the game, creating anticipation among fans eager to see him hit his stride once more. An update confirmed that he finally received his first touch on the Lions’ third offensive series, offering hope for a turnaround in his performance.
Looking Ahead
As the game continues, expectations remain that Montgomery will become more involved in Detroit’s offensive strategy. Given his recent form, there’s a strong belief that once he gets into the rhythm of the game, he could quickly turn things around and make an impact similar to his previous week’s performance. The Lions’ offensive dynamics will be key as they navigate this matchup against the Browns.
