The Detroit Lions remain one of the top teams in the NFL.
Although they lost to the Buffalo Bills last week, the Lions are still considered strong contenders for the Super Bowl and are widely expected to represent the NFC in the championship game.
The team boasts skilled players on both offense and defense, but their coaching staff continues to draw significant praise for their ability to bring everything together.
Head coach Dan Campbell has earned widespread recognition, while offensive coordinator Ben Johnson is gaining increasing attention for his contributions.
Ahead of the 2024 season, Johnson was a candidate for several head coaching positions. However, to the surprise of many fans, he chose to stay with the Lions for another year to help the team reach the next level.
When asked about his future, Johnson said, “I think there’s a burning desire in every man to find what he’s made out of. Going into the postseason, honestly, this is why I’m here.
This is why I wanted to be here,” according to reporter Brad Galli. While Johnson might revisit head coaching opportunities after the season, his focus remains solely on supporting the Lions for now.
Jared Goff continues to thrive as one of the league’s best quarterbacks this season, executing Johnson’s offense with precision.
It will be fascinating to see if the Lions can make history this year by securing their first Super Bowl victory.
