From the article

A touchdown machine in Week 1, Montgomery had five goal-to-go touches (four carries, one target) and converted three for scores in the Texans' 36-31 loss to the Bills. His status as the team's clear goal-line back will prove important against the Bengals, who surrendered 19 yards and two touchdowns to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on three goal-to-go plays last week.
