Matthew Stafford dropped back and threw a 6-yard pass Tyronne Green Jerseyto Calvin Johnson, converting a third down to seal a victory for the Detroit Lions at Chicago in their finale last season.
Stafford said Tuesday he suspected the superstar receiver was playing his last NFL game back then against the Bears.
''I thought ithttp://www.patriotsofficialonlinesshop.com/vince-wilfork-jersey_c-392.html had a chance to be,'' he said. ''I wasn't 100 percent positive. I'm glad he had a sweet game.''
Johnson had 10 receptions, matching a season high, and 137 yards receiving, his second-highest total of the year, and scored a touchdown to help the Lions beat the Bears 24-20 on Jan. 3. A little more than two months later, the 30-year-old Johnson announced that his nine-year career in the league was over.
The Lions returned to team headquarters Monday for the first time since Johnson retired http://www.patriotsofficialonlinesshop.com/will-smith-jersey_c-380.htmlto begin offseason workouts.
Johnson is long gone, leaving a huge void.
''He's irreplaceable, John Riggins Jerseyreally, with one person,'' Stafford said.
The 6-foot-5 receiver - known as Megatron because of his size and spectacular skills - set NFL records with 86.1 yards receiving per game and with 1,964 yards receiving in 2012. He wasn't at his best last season and yet, he was still pretty good, making 88 catches for 1,214 yards and nine touchdowns while playing through lingering injuries.
''We're definitely going to miss Calvin,'' safety Glover Quin said. ''And, http://www.redskinsshopnfl.com/Authentic-Jordan-Reed-Jerseysome of the plays he made on Sundays and practices and the person he was.''
Detroit won't have a go-to receiver anything like Johnson this season, but it will have a solid duo.
Golden Tate, who has 189 receptions for 2,144 yards in two seasons with the Lions, will likely become the team's No. 1 wide receiver. Former Cincinnati receiver Marvin Jones, who signed a five-year deal in Detroit just days after Johnson retired, will probably be its No. 2 option in the passing game. Jones set career highs with 65 receptions and 816 yards receiving last season with the Bengals.
Stafford said he was excited when he found out Jones signed, saying he ''flashed,'' when he watched him play on tap. Stafford threw Jones some passes Tuesday and got to know him a little more on and off the field.
