Lions’ Johnson poses huge challenge for Tillman and Bears
(MCT) — Charles Tillman was holding open a door after leaving the dining room at Halas Hall when he was asked if there was a way the Bears could limit Calvin Johnson to three receptions and 34 yards again.
The defense put the wraps on the record-setting Lions wide receiver during the Oct. 22 meeting at Soldier Field, a 13-7 Bears win. Johnson has 1,300 receiving yards in nine games since then and has surpassed Hall of Famer Jerry Rice for the most yards in a season. Johnson needs 108 on Sunday at Ford Field to reach 2,000.
