BREAKING: Lions’ RB David Montgomery reflects on need to be ‘selfless’ for success in duo with Jahmyr Gibbs.THANHDUNG

The Detroit Lions boasted one of the best offenses in the NFL over the last couple of seasons, thanks largely in part to a stellar rushing attack.

Lions running back David Montgomery talked to NFL Network on Wednesday about that success in tandem with fellow RB Jahmyr Gibbs, saying they’re “definitely the best running back duo in the league.”

 

“That’s my dog,” Montgomery said of Gibbs. “You’ve gotta be in a position — a mental headspace — to be appreciative of somebody else’s success… We’re all competitors, we all want to play ball and we all want to be the guy but sometimes you’ve gotta be selfless for the greater good of the team.”

Montgomery was the starting running back for most of the 2024-25 season, but Gibbs split time with him virtually evenly throughout each game, depending on the script. Gibbs did start the Lions’ last three games of the regular season following Montgomery’s knee injury.

The tandem’s 32 scrimmage touchdowns led all NFL backfields and Gibbs led the league overall with 20 touchdowns of his own.

“When it’s all said and done, when we’re done playing together, we’ll be the best running back duo to ever play together,” Montgomery said.

Gibbs is entering the third year of his rookie contract, while Montgomery is under contract through 2027. The duo will be together again next season under new offensive coordinator John Morton.

“Coach Campbell and Brad [Holmes] do a great job of putting guys around us and in our culture so that we all can benefit,” Montgomery said. “I’m excited for it.”
