Chris Johnson scores 16-yard touchdown. 3 carries, 20 yards on the day

With his first touchdown of the season a done deal, Chris Johnson is having a good day.

The 2012 season for Chris Johnson has not been kind, and by that, I mean it has been abysmal. Maybe it's having too much money in his pockets weighing him down, but the Titans RB looked like a shadow of the 2,000-yard rusher we saw a few years back.

On this 16-yard touchdown run, his first of the season, Johnson actually had some pep in his step.

Getting on the outside, turning it on, then an impressive four-yard dive into the end zone.

Early in Sunday’s game, Johnson has three carries for 20 yards at the touchdown. Already, he’s setting himself up to have a good game, which should please his fantasy owners -- assuming they started him. This was a tough call for owners with a floundering CJ, but remember that Buffalo have the worst run defense in the NFL entering today’s game. They have given up big rushing games all year, and Johnson could be giving them headaches all day.
