Notes: Megatron record in danger after NFL schedule expanded to 17 games?

An NFL record currently held by Megatron could be in jeopardy with the newly expanded 17-game season.

Legendary Detroit Lions receiver Calvin Johnson holds the record for the most receiving yards in a regular season — 1,964 yards in 2012. In fact, he’s the only player to record 1,900 yards in a single season.

CBS Sports’ Jeff Kerr explains that while that record is clearly extremely hard to beat in a 16-game season, as no one has done it in almost a decade, the new 17-game schedule could give them a chance.
