Gibbs had been the lead back in terms of carries and touchdowns, but Montgomery has been able to get his fair share as well. Montgomery had 185 carries for 775 yards and 12 touchdowns last season. While Gibbs received 46% of the rush attempts to Montgomery’s 34% overall, that split was closer in the red zone, where there was just one carry separating the two backs. The veteran back has been a thorn in the Packers’ side with seven touchdowns -- a personal best -- against Green Bay in 11 games, which includes finding the end zone in three of the last four meetings in the past two seasons.
