Johnson Huge Part of 3-0 Start For Lions:
Calvin Johnson might be the best wide receiver in the NFL. The Arizona Cardinals have Larry Fitzgerald, Houston has Andre Johnson. Calvin Johnson is Matthew Stafford’s favorite target in Detroit. He has 13 receptions and six touchdowns in only three games. He helped the Lions come back from 21 points against the Minnesota Vikings this past Sunday. He caught an over-the-shoulder ball to set up the game winning field goal.
The Lions are 3-0 in large part to Calvin Johnson’s performance. Stafford and Johnson are forming a solid combination that could last for many years. Johnson’s touchdowns just aren’t coming in garbage time. In week one, he scored against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, giving the Lions the lead for good. Johnson’s quickly becoming the most impact player not playing quarterback. The Lions are one of three 3-0 teams. They should make it to the playoffs this year. The NFC isn’t as deep this season and the Lions’ road to the playoffs shouldn’t be that difficult.
