Antonio Brown, Julio Jones need big second halves to catch Megatron

A few weeks ago, we covered Calvin Johnson's insane second half of the 2012 season -- the final nine games of a year in which he set the single-season receiving yards record of 1,964 yards.

In those final nine games, Johnson had eight 100-yard games and two 200-yard games. It’s why trying to use Johnson’s 2012 season as an actual pacer is really difficult to do. Except for this -- Antonio Brown is starting to show shades of Johnson’s 2012 campaign.

In Johnson’s first seven games of 2012, he had four games of under 100 yards receiving and two under 50 yards.
