At this point there should be no doubt that Calvin Johnson is the best receiver in the NFL. This catch on the sideline was simply absurd and put him over the the 100-yard mark on the day. The Lions went down after the catch and kicked a field goal to regain the lead over the Washington Redskins 20-17.
#MEGATRON has surpassed 100 yards, tying @HMAN84’s franchise record of 34 100+-yard games. #DETvsWAS #OnePride

Calvin Johnson passed both the 500-catch and 8,000-yard marks becoming the 3rd WR in NFL history to reach both in fewer than 100 games.
