Well, the excitement from a beautiful 49-yard reception by Calvin Johnson didn’t last long.
Johnson moved the Lions to the Atlanta 33, but on the next play, running back Mikel Leshoure lost a fumble to give the Falcons the ball at the 31.
Johnson’s catch broke Herman Moore’s franchise record of receiving yards in a season (1,686) and helped move him closer to Jerry Rice’s NFL record of 1,848 yards.
