Minnesota Vikings @ Detroit Lions

It started all well and good for the Vikings defense. They forced six straight three and outs to open their game against the Detroit Lions, and even built up a 6-0 lead midway through the second quarter. Then the beast known as Calvin Johnson woke up.

In the final three quarters, Johnson caught 11 passes for 186 yards and two touchdowns, helping his Lions cruise to a Week 1 win. Matthew Stafford finished with 288 yards and three touchdowns on the day. Reggie Bush ran a 36 yard screen pass in for a score in the fourth quarter.

Christian Ponder had a poor showing for the Vikings, completing only eight of his 22 pass attempts, and throwing for just 112 yards.
