Said opponent is Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery, who popped up in his team’s social media video asking about their most anticipated game of the season.

Montgomery dropped the following: “If you know, you know. This one personal.”

Of course, Montgomery was born in Mount Healthy, Ohio and rooted for the Bengals, drawing inspiration from the likes of Cedric Benson.

The Bengals host Montgomery and the Lions in Week 5 in a Fox broadcast featuring a 4:25 ET kickoff.
