In an unexpected twist in the NFL this week, Ben Johnson, the offensive coordinator for the Detroit Lions, withdrew his consideration for a head coaching role and proclaimed his commitment to stay with the team. This news came on the back of a playoff loss that saw the Lions failing to advance.

Johnson, touted as one of the hottest head coaching candidates in the league, clarified his decision on the Lions receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown’s podcast. He explained his reasons for staying put, emphasizing his commitment to the team and drawing applause from fans and players alike.

In a lighter vein, renowned rapper Eminem humorously revealed he had contemplated releasing a diss track following the playoff loss. However, with Johnson’s decision to stick with the Lions, Eminem declared he had shelved the planned track, expressing a sense of relief and going on to jest about the situation.

This announcement from Johnson signifies his decision to take another run at success with the Lions. As the team’s offensive coordinator, his leadership and strategic skills will remain in Detroit for the upcoming 2024 season, a decided bonus for the Lions going forward.

In summary, despite the recent setback for the team, Johnson’s return promises to bring a sense of stability and continuity to the Detroit Lions. Following this news, Detroit Lions fans, and even Eminem, are keen to see what the 2024 season will bring.
