It didn’t take long for Calvin Johnson to find his footing in the Thanksgiving match against the Chicago Bears.
While Johnson entered the game with numbers that one isn’t accustomed to seeing out of Megatron (in eight games played, Johnson had 578 receiving yards and only three touchdowns), he left his fingerprints all over the first half.
In one half of play, Megatron not only hauled in nine catches for 109 yards. He also scored two touchdowns, both of which were ridiculously pretty.
For the first touchdown, he beat double coverage.

Then, there was this beauty where poor Kyle Fuller had no chance.

The world is a better place when Calvin Johnson is in full Megatron mode. To reiterate:
