Losing offensive coordinator Ben Johnson was inevitable for the Detroit Lions, and this year it happened when he took the Chicago Bears’ head coaching job. The search to replace him landed on John Morton, who most recently spent two years as the Denver Broncos’ passing game coordinator.
Morton will of course be tasked with keeping one of the league’ best offenses rolling like it was with Johnson as the play caller the last few seasons. But he will surely put some of his own stamps on the core principals of the Lions’ offense that head coach Dan Campbell wants to keep in place, leaning into his coaching experience going back to 1998.
