2009: While Mic'd Up, a rookie Matthew Stafford separates shoulder with no time left, down by 6 points, comes back in and throws game tying TD. Lions would win 38-37.
Offseason goodness. What a freaking stud! Respect!

Sadly, that was probably the highlight of his career.
Kind of like when Mayhew traded Roy, everybody thought THIS was the guy. Then he hosed up the picks and did nothing to write home about. His best moment was actually before he was named permanent HC,
During the Lions' 0-16 Season, Megatron somehow ended up leading the NFL in receiving TD's with 12. The Lions only threw 18 TD's during the entire Season. by The_Throwback_King
Technically, he also tied with Larry Fitzgerald during his own legendary 2008 Season, But Fitz did it on the future NFC champs with Kurt Warner as his QB. Megatron did it with Dan "Behind the Endzone is still In-Bounds" Orlovsky, Jon "Not Joe" Kitna, and a very past-his-prime Daunte Culpepper.
The 08 Lions offense was pretty much the football equivalent of that one kid who keeps spamming Falcon Punch over and over again until he manages to land a hit.
But that's not even the worst part, That year, Johnson had 1,331 Receiving Yards along with the 12 Receiving TD's and he didn't even make the Pro Bowl. Just another part to the absolute tragedy that was his career.
