DETROIT — David Montgomery has the dream often. His eyes will close. His mind will drift. When he’s sound asleep, he’s taken to a place unbeknownst to him and the city he resides in. It’s new and exciting. The type of dream that leaves you wanting more when it ends.

The Detroit Lions bolstered their backfield in 2023, signing free agent David Montgomery and drafting Jahmyr Gibbs in the first round. The investments have paid off.

Do you trust Lions' defense heading into playoffs? Booher: After the performance Sunday, it’s hard to say no. Despite so many injuries, they were able to keep the explosive Minnesota offense out of the end zone for the duration of Sunday’s game.
