Detroit Lions Look to Build on Offensive Success with New OC John Morton

Morton plans to leverage his familiarity with Jared Goff as he takes over the NFL's top-scoring offense.

John Morton has been named the Detroit Lions' offensive coordinator following Ben Johnson's departure to coach the Chicago Bears.
Morton previously worked with the Lions in 2022 as a senior offensive assistant and has experience with top-tier quarterbacks like Drew Brees during his time with the Saints.
He emphasized his familiarity with quarterback Jared Goff, noting it will be key to maintaining and evolving the Lions' offensive success.
The Lions' offense, which led the NFL in scoring last season, will retain its established philosophy under Morton's leadership with potential refinements based on player input.
Goff, coming off a career-best season but facing postseason performance questions, will play a central role in Morton's vision for the team's 2025 campaign.
