Sunday turned out to be a very big day for Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson. In the afternoon, he guided the Lions' offense to 391 yards of offense and a 31-23 win over Tampa Bay -- securing Detroit's first NFC title game berth since the 1991 season. At night, after the win, one of the most popular candidates in this coaching cycle completed a virtual interview with the Atlanta Falcons for the team's open head coach gig.
Johnson and the Falcons got the interview in just under the wire for him to be able to have a second interview with Detroit during the bye week between the conference title games and Super Bowl LVIII, should the Lions defeat San Francisco in the NFC title game Sunday and advance to the franchise's first-ever Super Bowl.
