David Montgomery Shares How the Jumbotron Helped Him on 72-Yard Run vs. Ravens

In addition to his two touchdowns in Monday night's win vs. the Ravens, Lions running back David Montgomery also had an electric 72-yard run late in the third quarter that put Detroit in the red zone and set them up for a sweet trick-play TD from Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jahmyr Gibbs.

In footage of the moment, you can see Montgomery sort of looking up while he sprints down the field. During an episode of the St. Brown Podcast released Wednesday, he explained that he was actually looking at the Jumbotron so he could determine how close the Ravens defenders were to him. And it was a good thing he did, because had he kept running straight, someone might've got to him earlier.
