The NFL’s steady increase in offensive production took a step back this season.

Amon-Ra St. Brown has officially become the greatest rookie wide receiver in Detroit Lions history. St. Brown already broke the catches record weeks ago. No rookie wide receiver had ever done that in the history of the league. St. Brown, taken two days after that, has proven to be one of the great steals in this year’s draft. And now he’s officially the greatest rookie receiver in the history of this franchise.

Cooper Kupp is finishing up one of the greatest seasons by a receiver in NFL history.

Amon-Ra St. Brown was the lone standout for Detroit on an otherwise forgettable day as the Lions lost 51-29 at Seattle.

Rashaad Penny rushed for a career-high 170 yards and two touchdowns, Russell Wilson threw three of his four TD passes to DK Metcalf, and the Seattle Seahawks routed the Detroit Lions 51-29.

ATLANTA -- The Detroit Lions lost for a 12th time on Sunday, which denied them their first winning streak of the season but also guaranteed they’ll hold a top-five draft pick for the second time in three years. 1 overall pick after another loss on Sunday, but Houston’s big 41-29 win against the Los Angeles Chargers has put some distance between Detroit and everybody else. At 2-12-1, the Lions are 1.5 games better than the four-win Texans, Jets and Giants. In other words: A loss next week in Seattle (or in the finale against Green Bay) would clinch a top-two draft pick for Detroit for the first time since selecting All-Pro defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh back in 2010. Which is part of the irony of people losing their minds over the win against Arizona last week, which dropped Detroit from first to second in the draft order.

ALLEN PARK -- The Detroit Lions were blanked from the NFC Pro Bowl roster this season, with four players named alternates at their positions. Injured tight end T.J. Hockenson, offensive guard Jonah Jackson, fullback Jason Cabinda and linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin are the alternates.

Cabinda is a multi-faceted contributor, with the converted linebacker seeing work at fullback, tight end and on special teams.

Lions owner Sheila Ford Hamp and her mother Martha Firestone Ford were next to Johnson and his family on the field, drawing a chorus of boos and jeers from the crowd. To put it lightly, fans in attendance weren’t shy in booing the Ford family throughout halftime, cheering Johnson during his brief remarks. Karras played defensive line in Detroit for 12 years, famously missing the 1963 season due to a gambling suspension. Johnson made six Pro Bowls, three All-Pro teams and was a member of the NFL’s All-Decade Team for the 2010s.

ALLEN PARK -- The Detroit Lions have several former players among the first nominees for the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s 2022 class.

Charles Woodson beat out Peyton Manning for a prestigious college award. On Saturday, Feb. 6, 2021, they likely will share an even more impressive football honor: entry into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Not three years later, Manning threw 55 touchdown passes — that record still stands as the most in a season — and started in the Super Bowl for the Broncos. But he guided the Broncos to a win in Super Bowl 50 — then left the field forever. He finished his career with 65 interceptions and 13 defensive touchdowns, tied for the career record with Rod Woodson and Darren Sharper.

2 overall pick in the 2007 draft, went on to shatter the franchise record book in nine seasons for the Lions. His body was in such bad shape after the 2014 season, when the Lions went 11-5 before losing to Dallas in the playoffs, that he considered walking away after just eight seasons. And yet more losing -- the Lions started that season 1-7 before firing their president and general manager -- surely didn’t help his spirits. That’s when the Lions asked Johnson to return a reported $1.6 million of his signing bonus. Johnson says he has no interest in mending his relationship with the team until the team repays him that money.

ALLEN PARK -- Calvin Johnson is one step closer to making the Pro Football Hall of Fame on his first try after making the cut as one of 15 finalists.

ALLEN PARK -- It sure sounds like the relationship between Calvin Johnson and the Detroit Lions remains frosty at best. Lions team president Rod Wood previously said repairing the relationship with the legendary receiver was a priority but admitted not much has changed. With that said, Johnson’s relationship with the Lions has remained rocky since he retired after the 2015 campaign. Johnson even went on the record to say the team asked him to change his story concerning a brain injury during his playing days.

Blake discusses whether former Detroit Lion Calvin Johnson has earned a spot in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Officially five years removed from his retirement from the NFL, the man formerly known as Megatron is among 14 first-year-eligible candidates for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, according to a story released by the Associated Press on Wednesday. A six-time Pro Bowler and three-time first-team All-Pro, Johnson still holds the NFL record for most receiving yards in a single season with 1,964. But I won’t be surprised to see it take another year or two for Megatron to get his bust. Blake Bacho is a staff writer at The Monroe News; he can be reached at bbacho@monroenews.com.

Peyton Manning and Charles Woodson are among 14 first-year eligible candidates for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The roster of nominees consists of 65 offensive players, 49 defensive players and 16 special teams players. A maximum of five modern-era players will be chosen when the selection committee meets the Saturday before the Super Bowl in Tampa, Florida. Eighteen finalists will be presented to the full 48-member panel: the 15 modern-era finalists, and the recently nominated Drew Pearson (senior); Bill Nunn (contributor); and Tom Flores (coach). Enshrinement at the hall in Canton, Ohio, will take place next August, when members of the 2020 class and a special centennial class also will enter the football shrine.
