Kenny Golladay – Noteworthy

Kerryon Johnson – Noteworthy
RB Kerryon Johnson was a junior in an Alabama high school the last time the Detroit Lions had a 100-yard rusher in a game. On Sunday night, Johnson rushed for 101 yards on 16 carries in the Lions’ 26-10 victory over the New England Patriots to silence the talk that has resonated since Reggie Bush reached triple digits on the ground on Thanksgiving Day in 2013.If you’re scoring at home, that’s a 70-game drought for the Lions (1-2-0). “I think it was probably the moment I was drafted (I heard it), I can’t remember for sure,” the 21-year-old Johnson said, via ESPN.com “I think it was probably around that time. That was the first time I heard it. Obviously it wasn’t the last. But it was the last time I really cared about it. Like I said, I came in ready to work, ready to run. We came in ready to work. We came in ready to run. And that’s how we went through the offseason, that’s how we went through fall camp, and that’s how we went through the regular season.” Johnson’s performance on Sunday drew praise from Lions legend and Pro Football Hall of Famer Barry Sanders. “Hey @Lions fans, send your congrats to @AyeyoKEJO — 100 yards rushing for the 1st time in a while,” Sanders wrote on Twitter.
