Jahmyr Gibbs rushed for 90 yards and scored two touchdowns as the visiting Detroit Lions extended their winning streak to nine games by defeating the Indianapolis Colts 24-6 on Sunday.

The Lions' streak is their longest since their first season in Detroit in 1934 when they won 10 straight games.

Jared Goff passed for 269 yards for the Lions (10-1), completing 26 of 36 passes.

David Montgomery had a combined 73 yards rushing and receiving and ran for a touchdown. Montgomery came away with a shoulder injury during the second half and did not return.

The Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown caught six passes for 62 yards but his streak of scoring a receiving touchdown ended at eight games.

Anthony Richardson passed for 172 yards and rushed for 61 more for the Colts (5-7). Michael Pittman caught six passes for 96 yards but Jonathan Taylor was held to 35 rushing yards.

Indianapolis was penalized 10 times for 75 yards.

Detroit led 14-6 at halftime.

The Colts drove 61 yards on the opening possession of the game but had to settle for Matt Gay's 27-yard field goal.

Detroit got on the board early in the second quarter by finishing off a nine-play, 60-yard drive. Gibbs scored on a 1-yard run after Indianapolis was penalized for unnecessary roughness.

Andrew Ogletree dropped a potential touchdown pass during the Colts' ensuing drive, and Indianapolis had to settle for another Gay field goal, this one from 29 yards.

The Lions answered with a touchdown. Montgomery gained 13 yards on third-and-6 to keep the drive going and he scored two plays later from 6 yards out.

Detroit came up empty in the red zone during the opening possession of the second half as Montgomery was dropped for a loss on fourth-and-1.

The Lions extended their lead to 21-6 with a 10-play, 79-yard drive in the third quarter. Gibbs, who had a 16-yard run during the drive, finished it off with a 5-yard carry with 2:19 remaining in the quarter.

Jake Bates blasted a 56-yard field goal with 6:21 remaining to give the Lions an 18-point lead.
