6. Calvin Johnson beats triple coverage, 2011
There’s a reason Lions WR Calvin Johnson is nicknamed “Megatron.” His size, speed and power are unrivaled in NFL history – as is his NFL record for receiving yards in a season. But this TD catch he made against the Dallas Cowboys in 2011 is one of the plays that truly define Johnson as one of the best WRs in NFL history.
Down two TDs in the 4th quarter, Lions QB Matthew Stafford needed just 23 yards and a score to get back in the game. And Johnson delivered big-time by reaching up over the heads of not one, not two, but three Cowboys defenders to scoop up the ball for the TD.
