Don\u2019t look now, but the Detroit Lions look like a team that could be developing into a serious contender as the calendar changes from September to October.<\/p>\n

The Lions hit the road on Thursday night and took the Green Bay Packers to task at Lambeau Field. With a decent amount of blue and gray in the stands, Detroit won the game 34-20. Detroit\u2019s win marks its best start since the 2017 season when they also won their first three out of four \u2013 that time under Jim Caldwell.<\/p>\n

Detroit didn\u2019t start out too hot. Jared Goff threw an interception on his first drive. The Packers only managed a field goal on their first series. Goff calmed down a bit after that.<\/p>\n

He threw a touchdown pass on his second series to Amon-Ra St. Brown. The team then followed up with a David Montgomery touchdown and then a field goal. Montgomery scored a second time in the first half and the Lions would get another field goal.<\/p>\n

The Lions had a 27-3 at halftime. Montgomery\u2019s running abilities in the first half piqued the interest of Pro Football Hall of Famer Barry Sanders.<\/p>\n

“These running lanes are making me wish I could still go,” he wrote on X.<\/p>\n

Montgomery was the first Lions running back to score a rushing touchdown in his first three games with the team since Sanders in 1989. The Chicago Bears castoff finished with 119 rushing yards on 32 carries and 121 yards.<\/p>\n

Goff played efficiently down the stretch. He was 19-of-28 for 210 yards, a touchdown pass and an interception. He was only sacked twice. Josh Reynolds led the team in receiving with three catches for 69 yards.<\/p>\n

The Loins\u2019 defense picked Packers quarterback Jordan Love off twice and sacked him five times. He tried to get a comeback going in the second half but it was too little too late.<\/p>\n

He was 23-of-36 with 246 passing yards and a touchdown pass to Christian Watson.<\/p>\n

The Packers only had 27 rushing yards the entire night.<\/p>\n
