What’s Being Said Nationally After Lions Beat Bengals for Fourth Straight Win
Detroit Lions secured their fourth straight win with three interceptions and strong performances by Jared Goff and David Montgomery, ending a 33-year losing streak against the Bengals.
- On Sunday, October 5, 2025, the Detroit Lions at Paycor Stadium defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 37-24, with Jared Goff throwing for 258 yards and three touchdowns.

- Detroit's defense intercepted Bengals backup Jake Browning three times—by Amik Robertson, Kerby Joseph and Alex Anzalone—and David Montgomery threw a wildcat touchdown pass to Brock Wright.
- Despite a 21-point fourth-quarter surge, the Bengals could not complete the comeback as Lions linebacker Derrick Barnes sacked Jake Browning for a safety with under two minutes remaining.
- David Montgomery's hometown performance carried emotional weight as his sister watched in person for the first time since her 2024 crash, and Detroit travels to Kansas City next week amid injury concerns for Taylor Decker, Terrion Arnold, and Rock Ya-Sin.
