### Detroit Lions Set Historic NFL Rushing Record

The Detroit Lions' rushing attack achieved a sensational NFL milestone on Sunday, setting a new league record. During their matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Lions managed to score three rushing touchdowns in just the first half. This impressive feat contributes to an ongoing streak that has now reached 24 consecutive games, including the playoffs, where the team has scored a rushing touchdown.

According to the NFL's official Twitter account, this streak dates back to an October 2023 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. During that game, Jahmyr Gibbs was sidelined due to an injury, and David Montgomery had to exit early due to a mid-game injury. Despite these challenges, the Lions have persevered and continued their unparalleled run.

The record-setting streak involves 21 straight regular-season games, a duration that ties them with the 1974-76 Miami Dolphins for the third-longest such streak in history. This durability and consistency highlight the exceptional performance of the Lions' running game.

This season alone, the dynamic duo of Gibbs and Montgomery has been a force to reckon with, accumulating 18 rushing touchdowns over 9.5 games. Both players rank within the top five in the league for rushing touchdowns, further cementing their status as one of the most formidable rushing duos in the NFL.

Nicknamed "Sonic" and "Knuckles," Gibbs and Montgomery have not only been critical to the Lions' success this season but also have a strong claim to being the best running back duo both in the league currently and in the history of the Detroit Lions. This historic achievement adds another chapter to their impressive run, as they continue to dominate on the field.
