Calvin Johnson - Calvin Johnson shined as a slot receiver

Detroit Lions WR Calvin Johnson had six catches for 125 yards and a touchdown in Week 8. Of Johnson's six receptions, four were out of the slot position. Johnson made catches of 14, 17, 13 and 9 yards as a slot receiver. Denver Broncos CB Champ Bailey covered Johnson for most of the game when Johnson lined up outside. However, when Johnson was in the slot, Bailey stayed on the outside and other Broncos had to pick up the job.
Huddle Up: Lions OC Scott Linehan is one of the best in the business. This latest idea by Linehan simply keeps Megatron in that rare "absolutely unbenchable" category, along with Aaron Rodgers and Arian Foster.
