There is no doubt that Johnson and Lions head coach Dan Campbell have had a lot of fun rebuilding Detroit's offense to have two of the best seasons in the team's history.

Johnson has proven himself as a fantastic play caller and instilled more trick plays for the Lions in his short tenure than the team had collectively in its history.

Johnson has accepted the position of head coach of division rival the Chicago Bears. It won't be that Lions fans won't see Ben anymore but will have to play against him and his Bears twice a year.

I would have rather seen Johnson go to another division but he's worked hard and earned the opportunity so as a fan I have to wish him well...except against the Lions!
