"The bottom line is, this is about execution and the details of everything and then taking a little bit less, so guys are playing a little bit faster, so everybody knows exactly what to do," Morton said. "But I'm encouraged, there were some encouraging things in the game, obviously, and then we move on. "That's what we've done, great attitude by the guys, 'How do we fix this?' Because we're in the fix-it business as coaches."
"Entering the Week 2 home contest against the Chicago Bears, Detroit will try to avoid going 0-2 for the first time since 2021, in Dan Campbell's first season as the Lions' head coach. However, Bears head coach Ben Johnson -- who spent the previous three seasons as Detroit's offensive coordinator -- will be standing in the way during his much-anticipated return to Ford Field on Sept. 13."
John Morton said nobody is in panic mode after a 27-13 loss at Green Bay and emphasized execution, details and playing faster. The Lions aim to avoid an 0-2 start for the first time since 2021. Ben Johnson, who spent the previous three seasons as Detroit's offensive coordinator, returns to Ford Field as the Chicago Bears' head coach. Detroit led the NFL with 33.2 points per game in 2024 under Johnson. In Week 1, Detroit nearly went the full game without a touchdown until rookie Isaac TeSlaa's 13-yard catch with 0:55 remaining. Coaches and players are focused on fixes and fundamentals.
