- Going into Sunday's game, the Green Bay Packers were favored by around 7.5 points. After news broke that Calvin Johnson was out, the spread went up to 10 points. (The Packers covered, as they won by 13 points.)
- Apparently Matthew Stafford knew on Saturday that Johnson wasn't going to play.
- Johnson's injury, by the way, is different than the one he dealt with last year.
- It's been a couple years since the Detroit Lions struggled to move the ball as much as they did on Sunday.
Today's 286 yards were fewest by #Lions offense since gaining 280 vs. Vikings in Week 14 in 2011.
