The Detroit Lions have been among the top teams in the NFL season. A large reason has been because of their explosive offense. With a myriad of weapons at his disposal, Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson has put together one of the most dangerous scoring assaults in recent memory. Naturally, he has been the recipient of high praise this season.

However, Johnson has recently come under fire. And the catalyst of the controversy is country music star Chase Rice. Rice claims that Johnson stole his girlfriend when they were younger and ultimately married her. Rice recently reconnected with Johnson and his wife Jessica and shared the photos on his Facebook page with an accompanying story.
"Quick Momma/Son date up to Detroit. Proud as hell for my middle school through college QB Ben for Killin it all these years," the post reads.
"I'm still mad he stole my middle school dance date from me and married her but it was great to see you too Jessica. How bout them 12-1 Detroit Lions?"

Lions OC Expected to Recieve Head Coaching Offers
The Lions have been among the best teams in the NFL this season. But their offense has been particularly dominant.
Because of their dominance this season, Johnson is expected to be among the top targets in this year's coaching cycle.
"Offensive coordinator Ben Johnson is widely considered around the league to be a top coaching prospect again this cycle. He has coordinated an offense that has been top five in points and yards each of the last three seasons, and currently, the Lions have the highest-scoring offense in all of football," CBS Sports writes.
"Johnson has interviewed the last two years — including six interviews last year — but decided both times to return to Detroit. He could do the same this winter, as well, as sources have indicated Johnson won't just jump at any offer. He plans to be selective if he makes a jump, valuing organizational stability over a paycheck."
