The play occurred when Montgomery, slotting in as a receiver for Detroit Lions, hauled in a 13‑yard pass from quarterback Jared Goff. Instead of being tackled immediately, Montgomery powered through contact with a textbook “truck‑stick” — absorbing a defender’s hit, driving forward with strength, then breaking free to gain additional yardage after the catch.

That kind of play highlights the physicality and grit Montgomery brings to the field. Early in his career with Detroit, he’s shown himself to be a versatile back — not just in the running game, but dangerous as a receiver when called upon.

If you want — I can also break down why this play matters for the Lions offense overall (with stats, context, etc.). Want me to build that breakdown now?
