Calvin Johnson turns in one of the all-time best receiver games in shocking Lions comeback

Calvin Johnson (USA Today Sports Images) Do we need more proof that Calvin Johnson is on a different plane than any other wide receiver?

With a 14-catch, 329-yard performance in the Detroit Lions' insane comeback win over the Dallas Cowboys, Megatron lived up to his nickname by turning in the second-best receiving game in NFL history, coming up seven yards short of tying the 336 yards by Flipper Anderson in 1989.

Quarterback Matthew Stafford only missed on two throws in Johnson's direction all day, and Stafford finished off the game in stunning fashion with a touchdown run after Johnson caught the ball and brought it down to the 1-yard line with under 25 seconds left.

Johnson's previous best was 244 in Week 17 of the 2011 season against the Green Bay Packers.
