4 former Bears players who had huge moments on NFL Championship Weekend
It was a good weekend to be a Bears fan, kind of.
3. Lions RB David Montgomery
Montgomery probably had the best night of anyone on Detroit's offense, rushing for 93 yards – 60 in the first half – on 15 carries with a touchdown. It was far and away his best game of the playoffs, and the fourth time this season he's gone over 90 yards rushing in one game. After spending the first four seasons of his career with the Bears, Montgomery signed with Detroit before the 2023 season. He went on to have the best season of his career, going over 1,000 yards rushing for only the second time (2020) while setting career-highs in touchdowns, yards per game, and yards per attempt.
