Lions set record for consecutive games with rushing touchdowns

It’s nice having David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs. The Lions are almost a virtual lock to score a touchdown on the ground between those two. In fact, they just set an NFL record Sunday because of them, specifically Monty.

Montgomery’s first-quarter touchdown run marked the 24th consecutive game, including the playoffs, in which the Lions have scored a rushing touchdown. That is the longest streak in NFL history. The streak dates back to Week 6 of last season against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

They are also now at 21 straight regular-season games with a rushing touchdown. That’s tied with the 1974-76 Miami Dolphins for the 3rd-longest streak in the NFL history.
