Detroit Lions rushing attack sets ridiculous NFL record
On Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Detroit Lions scored three rushing touchdowns… in the first half.
Including the playoffs, the Lions have now scored a rushing touchdown in 24 straight games, which is an NFL recording according to the league’s official Twitter account. If you’re wondering which game that streak goes back to, it’s the Tampa Bay Buccaneers game back in October of 2023. You may remember that Jahmyr Gibbs missed that game with an injury, and David Montgomery left it early with a mid-game injury.
The @Lions have scored a rushing TD in 24 straight games, including the postseason, the longest streak in @NFL history.
Their streak of 21 straight regular-season games with a rushing TD is tied with the 1974-76 Dolphins for the 3rd-longest ever.

That Lions rushing duo has been dominant since. This season alone, Gibbs and Montgomery have combined for 18 rushing touchdowns in 9.5 games—both of them ranking in the top five across the league in rushing touchdowns.
The duo known as “Sonic” and “Knuckles” are taking over the league, and have a strong case for best running back duo in the league, and best duo in Lions history.
