Lions OC Jim Bob Cooter explains Calvin Johnson's lack of production

ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- As the Detroit Lions' offense has improved in the past month under new offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter, one thing has gone missing.

Calvin Johnson.

The wide receiver has been on the field for the majority of plays, but he's been barely used when it comes to being targeted or catching passes. In the past two weeks, Johnson has had two total receptions for 35 yards on six targets.

It is a sharp decline for the Pro Bowl receiver who rebounded from a slow start to be in the top 10 in yards and receptions before the two-game decline.
