Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson has gotten a lot of praise around the NFL. He was the runner-up for Assistant Coach of the Year, and he may have very well won himself a head coaching gig in the NFL had he not made the decision to return to Detroit.
But the sincerest form of flattery is imitation.
Earlier this season, we saw Notre Dame win a football game using a play that looked incredibly similar to Johnson’s fourth-and-1 game-winning call against the New York Jets.
Well, it happened again on the biggest stage in football.
