In his first couple seasons with the Chicago Bears, David Montgomery had the Detroit Lions circled on the schedule as a game he could have "fun" in.
Last year, everything changed.
"Playing those guys last year, I’m sure they had us circled," Montgomery said. "So just trying to feel the morale and see what kind of energy these guys bring, I’m excited about it. Just having a short conversation with (several Lions players) and understand that they’re building something special here, (now) I’m able to be part of it so I’m ready to roll."
