Former Auburn RB Kerryon Johnson got to show off his pass-catching ability on Sunday.
Georgia great Matthew Stafford tossed a short pass to Johnson on a screen. Johnson initially bobbled the ball, but concentrated and made the catch. He was then off to the races for a 36-yard touchdown. It’s the longest reception of Johnson’s young NFL career.

Unfortunately for Johnson and company, the Lions missed the extra point after the touchdown, so it’s 7-6 in favor of the Los Angeles Chargers in the second quarter. Johnson also has seven rushes for 31 yards.
