Rookie running back Kerryon Johnson has revived the ground game of the Detroit Lions. Fresh off the first 100-plus-yard game in 70 games for Detroit, Johnson was at it again on Sunday.
Check out the rookie running over Dallas Cowboys safety Jeff Heath en route to his first NFL touchdown.

Heath is by no means known for being a punishing tackler, but this was an embarrassing moment for the safety.
The touchdown put the Lions within striking distance, down 20-17.
