'Megatron' transforms Lions into mega-surprise

BEIJING - The moment the ball left quarterback Matthew Stafford's hand, everyone knew exactly where it was going. In an instant, it sliced through the agony of Minnesota Vikings fans and landed right in wide receiver Calvin Johnson's hands - the most dangerous place in football these days.

There is nothing bigger than this for the Detroit Lions, winning where they have no business winning, and winning like it is actually becoming a habit. And there is no one bigger, no one more difficult to stop, than their mighty 6-foot-5 wide receiver Calvin Johnson, known ominously as "Megatron," in honor of the hulking villain from the "Transformers" series.

"They call him Megatron for a reason," said Vikings cornerback Chris Cook.
