Title: The Record
Post by: Revolution on December 22, 2012, 10:17:38 PM: Calvin Johnson just broke the record for single season recieving yards. While I am a Pack fan, and don't care for the Lions, congratulations are in order. He's also tied for most receptions in a calendar month. 43 in December, I jsut heard. Wow. The guy is a sure fire HOFer if he doesn't get bad injured.

Well he didnt break it but Im not sure how safe it was AD got 199 yards and ended up just 9 yards short of the record. He also had 31 less carries than Dickerson when he set the record so still a pretty impressive feat.
