MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Kerryon Johnson saw the hole open up on the left side of the offensive line. It was the first play Sunday afternoon and everything happened exactly the way the rookie from Auburn thought it might.
The blocks from his linemen and receivers were perfect. In the heat against the Miami Dolphins, the openings were there all day.
In Detroit’s 32-21 victory over Miami, something big seemed possible for Johnson on every play. Give him a sliver of space and he can make something happen. Give him more room and better blocks and even bigger things can happen.
