When Ben Johnson left the Detroit Lions to become the Chicago Bears’ offensive coordinator, many around the league thought Detroit’s offense would take a major hit. But according to one NFL insider, that couldn’t be further from the truth.
In fact, the Lions seem to be thriving without Johnson, proving that their success runs deeper than just one coach. The team’s offense continues to look sharp under new leadership, with Jared Goff running the show efficiently, Amon-Ra St. Brown dominating defenses, and Jahmyr Gibbs blossoming into one of the NFL’s most explosive playmakers.
The insider noted that head coach Dan Campbell and offensive coordinator John Morton have done a remarkable job keeping Detroit’s identity intact — tough, balanced, and fearless. Even with Johnson now trying to fix a struggling Bears offense, the Lions haven’t missed a beat.
While Johnson was a big part of Detroit’s early success, it’s clear that the culture Campbell built — one centered on grit, belief, and accountability — has made the Lions’ offense sustainable and adaptable.
Simply put, the Lions’ message is clear: Ben Johnson may be gone, but Detroit’s dominance is here to stay.
