Allen Park — For Calvin Johnson, gaining 1,000 receiving yards each season is the norm.
"As long as we're on the field, we're going to surpass that mark," he said Sunday.
Despite all the questions about him slowing down at age 30, Johnson is about to reach the century mark again. He needs just 79 yards in Thursday's game against the Packers, and considering he's averaging 83.7 yards per game this year, there's a good chance he'll reach the milestone.
And when Johnson does, it'll just be another moment for people to praise his exceptional career as another 1,000-yard season would give him six straight, something just 14 other receivers have accomplished in NFL history.
