Calvin Johnson, a wide receiver for the Detroit Lions, breaks another record on Thanksgiving Day in the game against the Chicago Bears. With his 115th career receive he passed ten-thousand yards. The record was previously set by Torry Holt who hit the record of ten-thousand yards in 116 games.
Johnson said, "That's big, especially for a receiver, to be able to do it, in the fashion that we were able to do it and with the help I have from the rest of my teammates, we all share and take part in that.”
He had eleven catches, made two touchdowns and ran 146 yards during the first half of the game to bring his total up to ten-thousand and fifty-two yards. He also passed Eric Moulds in all time receiving yards and is rapidly approaching Shannon Sharp’s all time record of ten-thousand sixty yards.
