DETROIT -- Even without wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown and rookie running back Jahmyr Gibbs, the Detroit Lions offense jumped out to a fast start with a 42-yard touchdown from David Montgomery on their opening drive Sunday.
Montgomery's score capped a three-play, 1:17-minute drive in which they took a 7-0 lead over the Carolina Panthers in Week 5.
Before Montgomery's touchdown, Goff connected on a 23-yard pass to Kalif Raymond over the middle, then a 16-yard pass to veteran Marvin Jones Jr.
Montgomery's rushing touchdown was the second-longest of his career.
