Player of the Game: Calvin Johnson

With every week that passes, it looks like Calvin Johnson has no fear of the Madden Curse. And why should he, especially when he puts up numbers like eight catches for 119 yards and two touchdowns to help his team beat the upstart Vikings 31-24. In fact, with the game tied at 24 late in the fourth quarter, it's Megatron who scores the game winner on a sharp 2-yard touchdown pass from Matthew Stafford.
