Detroit rolled into the Jungle and left paw prints all over it, smacking the Bengals 37–24 in a game that felt over by halftime and only got spicy at the end. The Lions opened with a smooth script — Jared Goff (19/23, 258 yards, 3 TD) dropped a dime to Sam LaPorta (5/92/1), then hometown hero David Montgomery lined up in the wildcat and tossed a three-yard TD to Brock Wright. Extra juice: Montgomery did it back home in Cincinnati with his sister in attendance — storybook stuff. (espn.com)
Out of the break, Detroit hit the gas. Jahmyr Gibbs took a screen for a 20-yard score, LaPorta roasted the seam for 39, and Montgomery bulldozed in from eight after a 19-yard rumble to make it 28–3. Meanwhile, the Lions defense stacked three takeaways (Amik Robertson, Kerby Joseph, Alex Anzalone) and got a dagger safety from Derrick Barnes, with Aidan Hutchinson adding a strip-sack for extra sting. Amon‑Ra St. Brown (8/100) kept the chains moving, and late insurance came from Isaac TeSlaa’s 12‑yard TD — efficient, ruthless, very Dan Campbell. (espn.com)
Credit the Bengals for some fourth‑quarter fireworks. Ja’Marr Chase (6/110/2) authored a ridiculous toe‑tap TD that Next Gen called a 12.5% completion, then uncorked a 64‑yard house call, and Tee Higgins added a red‑zone grab as Jake Browning (26/40, 251 yards, 3 TD) tried to rally — but his three picks left too big a hole. Context matters: Cincy’s been scrambling since Joe Burrow’s Week 2 turf toe, and this week they swung a deal for Joe Flacco, whom Zac Taylor says will start in Week 6. Help is on the way, but on this Sunday, Detroit owned the moment. (espn.com)
Big Dill of the Game: David Montgomery — 18 carries for 65 yards and a TD, plus a TD pass in his hometown. Power, poise, and a little QB swagger? That’s a sandwich with extra relish. This is Dillon “Big Dill” Smith for Big Dill Sports — where ballin’ is a big dill. Catch you next kickoff. (espn.com)
