Former Broncos assistant coach was not so subtly demoted in Lions blowout

The Detroit Lions have one of the best offenses in the NFL when everything is clicking, and we've seen them absolutely dominate at times this season. Up until Week 10, former Denver Broncos offensive assistant John Morton was part of that.

Morton left the Broncos this offseason to replace Ben Johnson as the offensive coordinator for the Lions. With the way Detroit came out of a bye week and struggled in a loss against the Vikings, head coach Dan Campbell decided to make a bold switch.

Everyone noticed Campbell on the sideline holding a play sheet and speaking into a headset when the offense was on the field for Detroit, and he confirmed after the game that Morton has effectively been demoted.
