4. ST. BROWN ROLLING
Lions fifth-year wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown is off to a terrific start. He had two receiving touchdowns last week against the Browns which gives him an NFL-leading six touchdowns on the season. It was St. Brown's fifth career game with two-plus touchdown catches.
St. Brown is looking for a fourth-straight game today with at least seven-plus receptions, 70-plus yards and a touchdown catch. He has at least six receptions in seven of his last games on the road. He and Goff are two of the best in the business at their respective positions and they will look to continue rolling today against a Bengals' defense that ranks 30th against the pass.
5. HOMECOMING
It's amazing that in 92 NFL games played and 37 games played in college at Iowa State that Lions veteran running back David Montgomery has never played in his home city of Cincinnati. The seven-year NFL veteran, who was a high school football star at Mount Healthy High School in Cincinnati, said this week he's extremely motivated to put on a show for the family and friends who will be in attendance this afternoon.
Montgomery and fellow Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs form the best running back duo in the NFL. Montgomery will be looking for a similar outing to what he had the last time the Lions were on the road Week 3 in Baltimore when he rushed for over 150 yards with a touchdown.
