And it all happened just in the first half of their <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/detroit-lions/cowboys-vs-lions-bold-predictions-for-week-14-thursday-night-football-clash">Week 14 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys</a>.</p><p>Gibbs opened the scoring with a short touchdown run in the first quarter. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/dallas-cowboys/lions-news-david-montgomery-gashes-cowboys-halftime-35-yard-td">Montgomery followed with a 35-yard burst</a> to the end zone in the second. That gave the pair their 15th game with a scrimmage touchdown apiece. That mark is now the most by any running back tandem in the Super Bowl era. It pushed them past the iconic 1990s Dallas duo of Emmitt Smith and Daryl Johnston. That Smith-Johnston pairing powered a dynasty and played together for a decade.</p><p><a href="https://x.com/LionsPR/status/1996767993192427685" rel="noopener">Meanwhile, Detroit’s electric 1-2 punch</a> continues to showcase why this offense runs through them.

They have leaned heavily on Gibbs and Montgomery to stabilize an offense that has battled injuries at key positions. Detroit’s defense has shown vulnerability and remains a work in progress. That said, the backfield’s explosiveness has kept the team in the thick of the NFC playoff hunt.</p><p>Individually and collectively, Gibbs and Montgomery have defined Detroit’s offensive identity in 2025. Gibbs has surpassed 1,000 rushing yards with 10 rushing touchdowns. Montgomery continues to thrive as the powerful complement. He has tallied more than 540 rushing yards and six touchdowns. Their historic 15-game scoring feat underscores just how dominant Detroit’s running back duo has been all season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Dallas Cowboys gave him a runway. Late in the second quarter at Ford Field, Detroit Lions running back Montgomery ripped off a 35-yard touchdown run right up the gut, blowing past the second level and dragging Detroit into a 17-6 lead over the Dallas Cowboys before halftime.  </p><p>The drive started in plus territory <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/detroit-lions/lions-news-defense-loses-player-injury-vs-cowboys">after Detroit’s defense</a> punched the ball out of Jake Ferguson, and safety Brian Branch fell on it near midfield. A few snaps later, Jared Goff and Jameson Williams connected on a deep shot to set up the Lions at the Dallas 35. Then Detroit went back to its identity, downhill, physical, no frills. Out of the shotgun, Montgomery took the handoff, knifed through a crease off center, and was gone, breaking tackles until he crossed the goal line. </p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">DAVID MONTGOMERY TAKES IT 35-YARDS FOR THE LIONS TD 🦁 </p><p> <a href="https://t.co/hapocQDkAS">pic.twitter.com/hapocQDkAS</a></p><p>— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPoints/status/1996767865559462283?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 5, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>By that point, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/dallas-cowboys/cowboys-news-fans-livid-dak-prescott-safety-got-overturned">Detroit Lions’ backfield was already in full control</a> of the night.

It was a historic one. According to Sports Illustrated, that Montgomery run and Gibbs’ earlier score gave the duo their 15th game with each recording a touchdown as teammates, the most by any running back tandem in the Super Bowl era. They passed the famed Dallas combo of Emmitt Smith and Daryl Johnston to grab that record, fittingly, against the Cowboys.  </p><p>Dak Prescott and the Dallas offense had moved the ball in spurts, with CeeDee Lamb hitting chunk plays in the passing game and Brandon Aubrey drilling a pair of field goals. But every Cowboys mistake seemed to turn into gasoline for the Lions.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery rushed for two touchdowns each as the Lions devoured the Baltimore Ravens, 38-30, at M&amp;T Bank Stadium.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/baltimore-ravens/ravens-news-kyle-hamilton-honest-baltimore-ugly-mnf-defense">The Lions’ running attack was in full display</a>, with the duo of Gibbs and Montgomery, nicknamed Sonic and Knuckles after the popular video game, running rings (pun intended) around Baltimore.</p><p>Gibbs finished with 22 carries for 67 yards, while Montgomery logged 12 carries for 151 yards, including the game-sealing 31-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. The Lions improved to 2-1.</p><p>After the game, the 23-year-old Gibbs and the 28-year-old Montgomery stayed on the field to interact with fans.
