David Montgomery Reflects on Lions’ Playoff Heartbreak and Hopes for the Future
After a tough postseason exit, David Montgomery opened up about the Detroit Lions’ playoff struggles in an interview with DJ Siddiqi of Forbes. Despite their impressive 15-2 regular season, the Lions faltered against the Washington Commanders, leaving many fans questioning what went wrong.
Montgomery shared that while the team didn’t underestimate their opponents, they simply didn’t execute when it counted: “We weren’t playing our brand of football, and it showed. If we execute better, we’ll get over that hump.”
Still, he remains optimistic about the Lions’ future. With a few more pieces and improved execution, Montgomery believes the Lions are on the right track and positioned to contend for a Super Bowl soon.
Bottom Line: Montgomery’s steady contribution to the team, including 775 yards and 12 touchdowns, is a sign of growth. As the offseason begins, his performance will play a key role in the Lions’ quest to finally break through.
