Since the Packers’ defensive coordinator arrived in Green Bay, every time he’d turn on the tape to watch Detroit, one guy was impossible to miss.
“You didn’t have to look very far to see Calvin show up,” Capers said.
He was referring to Calvin Johnson, of course, aka Megatron. The star receiver’s rather abrupt retirement after last season means Sunday’s Packers-Lions game at Lambeau Field will be the first without Johnson on the Detroit sideline since Mike McCarthy’s first year as head coach in 2006.
In Johnson’s nine years, he played 16 of a possible 18 games against the Packers.
