Ben Johnson stays with the Lions, who can dream big with their 2024 goals

New York Times  

Part of the lingering sting the Detroit Lions were left with Sunday evening, after their heartbreaking 34-31 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game, was the knowledge that it’s hard to get here, and even harder to get back. Most assumed the Lions would lose Johnson, one of the league’s best and brightest offensive minds. This appeared to be the year Johnson would move on, after a second season of coordinator experience leading one of the league’s best offenses, while helping the Lions to their first playoff win in 32 years. “I think it’s made him a more well-rounded coach,” Dan Campbell said of Johnson’s return to the team for the 2023 season. And that’s not only through the week, but on game day.” Jared Goff passed for 4,575 yards and 30 TDs in Ben Johnson’s offense during the regular season.
