Ticketmaster Hot Matchup: Xavier Rhodes vs. Calvin Johnson
While the complementary pieces on each side change each year and have been improving of late, a Vikings-Lions matchup on Sunday always brings to focus a matchup between two quality players in the passing game – Vikings CB Xavier Rhodes and Lions WR Calvin Johnson.
Rhodes Closed vs. Megatron is the subject of this week’s Ticketmaster Hot Matchup.
More and more, the Lions have been lining Johnson up in the slot. When that happens, there’s a chance someone other than Rhodes lines up against him. But whenever these two players are opposite each other before the snap, you always know the action after the snap will be worth watching.
