Detroit Lions' Offense Predicated on Jared Goff under New OC John Morton

The Detroit Lions have officially appointed John Morton as their new offensive coordinator following Ben Johnson's departure to the Chicago Bears. Morton, who previously worked with quarterback Jared Goff in 2022, expressed confidence in their existing rapport, stating that understanding Goff's preferences will be crucial to their success. He aims to maintain continuity within the Lions' offensive strategy while also making necessary adjustments to enhance performance. Morton emphasized that the offense will be 'predicated on the quarterback,' highlighting the importance of Goff's role in their game plan. Meanwhile, David Shaw, former Stanford head coach, has joined the Lions as a passing game coordinator, where he will also work with Goff. This collaboration marks a strategic move for Goff, who had faced Shaw's teams during his college career with mixed results.
