Detroit running back David Montgomery returned from injury and ran for three touchdowns Thursday as the Lions beat the Green Bay Packers 34-20 in a battle for the NFL's NFC North division lead.
Lions quarterback Jared Goff was intercepted on the team's opening drive, leading to a Packers' field goal.
But it was all Detroit for the remainder of the first half as the Lions built a 27-3 lead.
Goff connected with a wide open Amon-Ra St. Brown on a 24-yard touchdown pass to put Detroit up 7-3.
After missing last week with a thigh injury, Montgomery drove in for a three-yard TD with 2:54 left in the first quarter.
