Eight minutes Sunday night crushed the Lions Super Bowl plans. Four words on Tuesday ensured they can get there again.

Ben Johnson is STAYING.

HOLY SHIT! Ben Johnson WANTS to stay in Detroit! Honestly, I am soooo happy. Aaron Glenn does need to go and the Lions should hire Mike Vrabel as DC. This can be the dream team in 2024!#OnePride #AllGrit

Ben Johnson knows he’s in a great situation. Not settling for the first job that’s offered to him so he can get fired in 3 years and ruin his reputation. He’s smart. He’s waiting for the perfect opportunity, and in the mean time.. let’s keep this thing going in Detroit!!
