Kerryon Johnson becomes 1st Lions RB to rush for 100 yards since 2013

Detroit Lions fans won't be constantly reminded of Reggie Bush and the team's long-lasting rushing problems anymore.

Rookie running back Kerryon Johnson ran for 101 yards during Sunday night's victory over the New England Patriots, becoming the team's first rusher to eclipse the 100-yard mark since the recently-retired Bush ran for 117 yards against the Green Bay Packers on Nov. 28, 2013.

LeGarrette Blount and Theo Riddick, Johnson's veteran teammates, let him know the importance of his accomplishment on the sideline late in the fourth quarter.
