For some, this weekend will be unbearable. The Detroit Lions are out of the playoffs, and I imagine that will be enough to keep some Michiganders away from the television this week.

I fully expect Ben Johnson to be deep in his bag this week. Days after the Bears put together a bland and unimagintive game plan in their regular-season finale against the Detroit Lions, Chicago’s football team received good news from the injury report with wide receivers Rome Odunze and DJ Moore (as well as starting left tackle Ozzy Trapilo) garnering full participation status with no game day designation for Saturday’s upcoming playoff game against the Green Bay Packers. So, the way I s...

With the NFC West sending three teams to the playoffs, the conference appears to run through them. However, the NFC North looked just as strong a year ago, only to flame out once January arrived.

It was only a matter of time before the Detroit Lions were named as a team that could be interested in hiring an assistant coach off of Ben Johnson’s staff. And we already have one name as a possible target for the offensive coordinator vacancy in Detroit — Bears Offensive Coordinator Declan Doyle. Yahoo’s Jori Epstein connects the dots (and shares a story worth reading about what Ben Johnson sees in Chicago’s young OC): A name that makes sense for Lions OC: Bears OC Declan Doyle. Co...
