Montgomery also gave credit to the fans for their energy during the game. During the interview, Anderson asked Montgomery if he could “smile.” Montgomery, however, is maintaining a serious mindset as Detroit aims to win the Super Bowl.
“Not yet,” Montgomery said.
The Lions star further addressed his performance after the win.
“The job is not done yet. It’s not done, so, I gotta be better… We are going to be better so we can come out next week and compete.”
