The Detroit Lions have finally snapped one of the most embarrassing active streaks in the NFL; Sunday was the first time since Nov. 28, 2013 that a Lion rushed for 100 yards or more. The Lions had gone 70 games in the regular season without a 100-yard rusher.
Rookie Kerryon Johnson hit the milestone in the fourth quarter of the 26-10 win over the New England Patriots, going over 100 yards on his 16th carry of the night, a 10-yard run on third-and-18 late in the fourth quarter.
