Last Saturday, the Lions were home to face the Commanders in the divisional round. Detroit, the #1 seed in the NFC playoffs, had a bye in the first round. Washington was coming off a 23-20 win vs. the Buccaneers. The Commanders used that momentum to stun the Lions 45-31 and ended their impressive 15-2 season.
With the Lions’ season finally ending, changes are expected—not for the roster but for the coaching staff. Detroit has two of the top coordinators in the NFL: Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn. Both are top candidates for head coaching jobs. On Monday, NFL insiders announced that Johnson has accepted the Bears’ head coaching vacancy. How will 38-year-old Ben Johnson handle the pressure of being a first-time head coach?
