David Montgomery had an impressive performance in the Detroit Lions' 47-9 victory over the Dallas Cowboys, rushing for 80 yards and two touchdowns. This marked his first multi-score game of the season, showcasing his ability to contribute significantly even while sharing carries with Jahmyr Gibbs. As the Lions prepare for the NFC Championship Game against the 49ers, both Montgomery and Gibbs are expected to play crucial roles, especially given the 49ers' recent struggles against the run.

• Montgomery has at least 70 total yards and a touchdown in all five games this season.
• The Lions' running game could exploit the 49ers' weaknesses in the upcoming NFC Championship.
