Detroit Lions offensive coordinator John Morton couldn’t get enough of his team’s Week 2 performance against the Chicago Bears. So impressive was the Lions’ offensive display that Morton rewatched the game twice, shaking his head in disbelief. “Man, is this real?” he reportedly said after reviewing the highlights.
The Lions’ offense looked sharper, faster, and more cohesive than many expected, leaving Morton both amazed and energized for the challenges ahead. With Jared Goff executing plays with precision and Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams making jaw-dropping catches, Detroit’s attack showed it was far from the inconsistent unit many critics predicted.
Morton’s second viewing wasn’t just for entertainment — he was studying the film to uncover why everything clicked so seamlessly. The chemistry, the timing, and the creative use of formations all pointed to a team finally hitting its stride under new systems and adjustments during OTAs.
For Detroit fans, Morton’s double take is proof that the Lions aren’t just winning games; they’re sending a message. The offense is clicking, the weapons are elite, and a team once dismissed as inconsistent is showing signs of genuine, sustainable firepower.
