ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- David Montgomery says the Detroit Lions are "tired of being close" to winning a Super Bowl and declared the 2025 season as a "year of reckoning."
After a franchise-best 15-win season in 2024, the top-seeded Lions fell short of their Super Bowl goal with a shocking loss against the Washington Commanders in their playoff opener.
"Everybody's tired of being close," Montgomery said Sunday. "It's cool to be close at first, but you don't want to get comfortable with being close all the time.
"That's not what you want to be known for especially when you know you've got the guys you've got on this team.
