STATS WITH STYLE: Known for his ability to make the spectacular catch, Johnson twice won fan voting during the '04 season for the Levitra Play of the Week Award, joining Philadelphia's Donovan McNabb as only two-time winners. Johnson earned Levitra Play of the Week for an acrobatic 36-yard TD catch Nov. 21 vs. Pittsburgh, and for his game-winning four-yard grab Dec. 26 vs. the NY Giants. Though it didn’t win an award, his diving 53-yard TD catch against double coverage on Sept. 12 at the NY Jets was hailed by QB Carson Palmer as "the best catch I've ever seen on a ball I threw in my entire football career." And on Dec. 5 at Baltimore, Johnson made a tough, over-the-head catch for 22-yard gain to the Ravens 9 with 0:30 remaining, setting up Shayne Graham's game-winning FG.

DYNAMIC DUOS: Along with his considerable individual accomplishments, Johnson has paired with different Bengals teammates the past two seasons to set marks for tandem receiving. In 2003, Johnson and Peter Warrick set team records for most catches (169) and yards (2174) by a pair of Bengals receivers in a season. In 2004, Johnson and T.J. Houshmandzadeh broke the tandem yards mark with 2252 and fell just one short of the tandem catches mark with 168. And on Dec. 5, 2004 at Baltimore, Johnson and Houshmandzadeh combined for the most catches (20) and yards (332) by any pair of receivers in the same Bengals game (Houshmandzadeh 10-171; Johnson 10-161).
