In news that will surprise no one -- except, perhaps, Dez Bryant -- Calvin Johnson has been named the NFC's offensive player of the week.

You know the story by now: The Detroit Lions receiver racked up 329 yards in Sunday's 31-30 win against the Dallas Cowboys. That's an NFL record for an non-overtime game.

His 14 catches matched a club record, and he did it on just 16 targets. The Lions averaged a spectacular 20.6 yards every time Matthew Stafford simply threw in Johnson's direction.

"He's a big play machine," coach Jim Schwartz said this week. "When he's covered he's still open."

Johnson's first catch was an 87-yarder, the longest reception in the NFL this season. He scored one touchdown, on a fourth-down play to get Detroit on the board, and also had a pair of important catches on the team's 80-yard game-winning drive that began with just 62 seconds left and no timeouts.

He had a 17-yarder for Detroit's first significant gain of the series, then a 22-yarder that moved the ball to the 1-yard line and set up Stafford's game-winning QB sneak.

Johnson is Detroit's second player to win a weekly award this season. Punter Sam Martin was named the conference's special teams player of the week after a Week 3 game against Washington.
