Chris Johnson keeps Sandy Hook victims close to his heart

With some of the heart-warming news that emerged Sunday -- when NFL teams made various tributes honoring the 26 who died in Friday's elementary school shooting in Connecticut, and with Patriots owner Robert Kraft donating $25,000 to aid the victims -- Titans running back Chris Johnson took it a step further Monday night.

That's because, as you can see in the photo above, Johnson wrote on his shoes the name of every person who died in the tragic shooting.

And wearing those shoes, Johnson broke loose for a 94-yard touchdown run with 8:53 left in the second quarter Monday to give the Titans a lead. It was his sixth career 80-plus yard touchdown run, the most in NFL history.
