Megatron Comes Through in the Clutch (Lions vs. Raiders, 2011) | NFL Vault Highlights 

Miss Calvin Johnson. Honored to watch him play

Raiders: We can't let Megatron beat us with the game on the line. Also Raiders: Let's cover Megatron with a linebacker on a deep route.

Megatron definitely took that game over on that last drive. He's so and never talked shit he just balled and I wish he wouldn't have retired so early cause he still had a lot in the tank

Great game to pick there. Calvin Johnson could've played a few more years IMO but either way he's HOF caliber. It's always awesome to see a huge crowd at the Coliseum too! I loved the variety of throws as well in that vintage. Teams took more intermediate to deep shots down the field in the passing game.

There was a feel about playing the Raiders in Oakland and Contrary to popular belief, I never felt threatened, I’m a Chargers fan who attended games in Oakland for many years and the fans there were full of energy. Great Atmosphere for football.

I remember being at this game. Painful times being a Raiders fan 💔

If we won that game we would’ve steam rolled into the playoffs we have a great time that year

Seeing Palmer miss so many open WRs makes me so happy that Derek Carr is the QB now

Thanks for uploading this game. Takes me back. Was 18 years old watching it with an old friend whose not here anymore. Now I'm 25. Miss you brother. Memories are forever

Love these highlights

This game was spicy as hell.

People talk about Mahomes side arm throws what about the OG Stafford

Carson Palmer at qb ?????? Don't look right in a raiders uniform

0:20 Fourth and one, instead of playing it safe, the Raiders elect for a play action pass to try and get a big gainer play. Lions play cover zero, and Palmer drops back, before seeing a Lions corner straight up fall down. This should be the easiest passing TD ever, but Palmer proceeds to overthrow his WR, resulting in an incomplete pass and a turnover on downs. This is probably one of the worst two-team effort plays in the history of professional football.

Stafford with them dots off his back foot. Too many to count!

Our defense was HORRIBLE this year...I remember watching that last drive...#purecringe

Bears vs. Cardinals 2007 comeback ...P.s you the real MVP

This is back when the lions where good

Good ol'days Megatron cracking heads

I think NOW I seen this game..hmm

Watching all these older highlights of the lions reminds me that as a fan of the Lions, the team we have RIGHT NOW is not the same old lions. No disrespect to Johnson, Stafford, Sanders, Speilman or other Lions legends that had the mentality and ability to win. I can safely say for the first time in my lifetime that the Lions are headed in the right direction, whether they win the big one with Campbell or not.

2nd best receiver of the late 2000s besides fitz

this lions team was special

49ers at Vikings 2009. favre to Lewis.

Back when there was hope for this franchise and then they went right back to reality. Now Stafford and Megatron gone.

Miss the early 2010s Lions roster man☹️☹️

The amount of 10+ yard screen plays the Raiders ran here is pretty ridiculous. Offense carried this 2011 Lions team so hard

I think this game should've happened in 2010 because the NFL should've redid the interconference rotation like this: 2002,2006,2010,2014,2018,2022 AFC East vs NFC East (Patriots,Dolphins,Jets,Bills vs Eagles,Redskins,Giants,Cowboys) AFC North vs NFC West (Steelers,Ravens,Browns,Bengals vs Rams,49ers,Seahawks,Cardinals) AFC South vs NFC South (Titans,Colts,Jaguars,Texans vs Buccaneers,Saints,Falcons,Panthers) AFC West vs NFC North (Raiders,Broncos,Chiefs,Chargers vs Bears,Packers,Vikings,Lions) 2003,2007,2011,2015,2019,2023 AFC East vs NFC North (Jets,Patriots,Dolphins,Bills vs Packers,Vikings,Bears,Lions) AFC North vs NFC South (Steelers,Browns,Ravens,Bengals vs Buccaneers,Falcons,Saints,Panthers) AFC South vs NFC East (Titans,Colts,Jaguars,Texans vs Eagles,Giants,Redskins,Cowboys) AFC West vs NFC West (Raiders,Broncos,Chargers,Chiefs vs 49ers,Rams,Seahawks,Cardinals) 2004,2008,2012,2016,2020,2024 AFC East vs NFC South (Patriots,Dolphins,Bills,Jets vs Panthers,Saints,Buccaneers,Falcons) AFC North vs NFC North (Ravens,Bengals,Steelers,Browns vs Packers,Vikings,Bears,Lions) AFC South vs NFC West (Colts,Titans,Jaguars,Texans vs Rams,Seahawks,49ers,Cardinals) AFC West vs NFC East (Chiefs,Broncos,Raiders,Chargers vs Eagles,Cowboys,Redskins,Giants) 2005,2009,2013,2017,2021,2025 AFC East vs NFC West (Patriots,Jets,Bills,Dolphins vs Seahawks,Rams,Cardinals,49ers) AFC North vs NFC East (Steelers,Ravens,Bengals,Browns vs Eagles,Giants,Cowboys,Redskins) AFC South vs NFC North (Colts,Jaguars,Texans,Titans vs Packers,Vikings,Lions,Bears) AFC West vs NFC South (Chargers,Broncos,Chiefs,Raiders vs Falcons,Saints,Panthers,Buccaneers)

Texans vs redskins 2010 Matt Scaub throws for 497

10:38 Even if it wasn’t blocked, Janikowski would’ve probably missed a 65 yard game winner. But nice block for the save and win, Lions.

Surprised Thom didn't diss Oakland the way he dissed Kansas City 😁

Crazy looking at that playoff picture record knowing the Giants will win the Super Bowl

8:38 dumbest thing ive ever heard in my life palmer missed that so bad

4:38. Remember those words

NFL Vault Please do 49ers vs Giants 2002 Wildcard

5:07 Whoa. So the Giants barely made the playoffs that year and did all that damage once they got in 😱

I was at this game. Absolutely worst defense I ever seen. Who puts a MLB on Megatron..

Palmer holding the ball to long as usual on that last sack! If he dumps it down they probably win.

Always hated when FOX and now CBS run an opaque ticker on the bottom of the screen during the entire game. Can't the NFL ask the networks for a raw copy from the broadcast truck?

hype ...go lions

To bad Titus Young lost his mind

Calvin could of been great he never reached his full potential he could never break through that ceiling ...just kept hitting his head.

I think its funny that Highlight heaven made a video of this game like 2 mouth ago really NFL lol

Calvin Johnson only 2 playoff games.smh

Retired way too soon

This was the best hew ever looked as a pro. Very high level of play here. Not Moss/Owens but next best thing. Sadly he rarely showed this level.

Raiders would only do screens

Imagine if calvin played for a real contending team, nonetheless he was in my opinion the most entertaining player of his time, truly a spectacle of greatness

Don’t get why raiders wouldn’t go for two.

If this lions defense was a little better...

Text book choakland

War eagle 🦅!

Give me Calvin Johnson over Jerry Rice ever day.

Do u guys think the Chiefs will be good this year

Thom brennaman is just the worst

Here before 1m view

7:31 this call reminds me of the refs cheating for Stafford in last year's Super Bowl. But in the case of last year's Super Bowl, it was 100 times more egregious 💯
