Johnson hauled in six passes off of nine targets for 166 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson had a slow start to 2015, averaging just 10.1 yards per catch and a season long of 28 yards. Megatron hauled in three passes for more yardage than that on Sunday, including a 57-yard jumpball to set up Detroit's game-winning field goal. After five weeks of offensive struggles, Detroit put together a strong performance on Sunday, particuarly in the passing game, with the kind of emphasis on down-field passes that Johnson and quarterback Matthew Stafford are known for. Look for Detroit to try to keep with that formula moving forward.
They actually decided to try throwing the ball more than 7 yards from the line of scrimmage to Calvin. I can't believe they'd revert back to whatever they called the game plan before after the success they had.
