OC Ben Johnson brought the Detroit Lions to the divisional round. But alas! In the divisional round, the Lions could not stand a chance against the Washington Commanders. The Commanders have been unstoppable since day 1! All thanks to the enthusiasm brought by LSU’s star quarterback Jayden Daniels, who played for the first time for the Commanders. Following this 31-45 defeat, the Detroit Lions’ offensive coordinator decided to leave his job and take on a new job as the head coach for the Chicago Bears. The only thing common between the Lions and the Bears is NFC North. There’s no Tom Brady’s franchise anywhere here.

Secondly, an Insider of the Raiders took to his X and cleared the air around Ben Johnson and the Lions’ job.
