With guard Lane Taylor pulling from the left side of the line, Montgomery sprung to the second level and made defensive end Adam Gotsis miss to break a 25-yard gain on the first play of Green Bay’s second offensive series against the Denver Broncos.

The play not only went a long way in setting up the Packers’ first scoring drive of the evening, but it also set the tone for what turned out to be the finest performance to date this preseason for the Packers’ running backs.

Montgomery (three carries for 31 yards and a touchdown), fourth-round pick Jamaal Williams (three catches for a team-high 46 yards) and fifth-round pick Aaron Jones (six carries for 43 yards) led the way for a backfield that produced 166 total yards.
