“They are the best NFL duo and there is no reason that will change anytime soon,” Sanders told USA Today last week. “If a super bowl is in our future, in our near future, one might think that these two guys would make a large part of it.”
Gibbs was the best rusher of the best rated offensive in the league. He led the NFL with 16 precipitated affected. He had 1,412 yards on the ground. He obtained a sign of the Pro Bowl head for the second consecutive time.
Montgomery, the veteran, has shown what he is capable of when he is entirely healthy. He had 775 yards on the ground and 12 affected last year.

“David Montgomery, he has been an excellent ball carrier in the NFL for many years, and he simply added to that coming from the Bears and putting him with this offensive line of the Lions,” added Sanders. “And then, you see what Jahmyr Gibbs was able to do last season, really from the time, the last two years he was here, but I had the impression that last year was more an escape season for him.”
Lions are only improving on the offensive line with the selection of Tate Ratledge in the project. He will be with Taylor Decker, Christian Mahany, Frank Rugnow and Penei Sewell.
It is clear that the perception of Lions has changed since the arrival of Dan Campbell.

Expectations will only increase over the years. Detroit has shown what they can do in the regular season, but bringing it together for an appearance at the Super Bowl will be the key.
