Detroit Lions star unhappy at Ben Johnson's decision to leave for division rival Chicago Bears
Share:
Detroit Lions star Amon-Ra St. Brown has shared his frustrations with Ben Johnson leaving the Motor City to become the new head coach of the Chicago Bears. Johnson, one of the biggest names in this year's NFL coaching carousel, served as the Lions offensive coordinator for three seasons. He was one of the leaders guiding Detroit from league mediocrity to one of its best.

The loss of Johnson leaves a tremendous gap, with St. Brown being happy for Johnson to get the chance to run a team, but equally frustrated that one of the architects of the Lions renaissance is now in a division rival's camp. 'Ben's a traitor,' St. Brown said half-jokingly. 'Actually he just called me a few minutes ago, maybe an hour ago. So got to talk to him. We had some banter back and forth, messing around.'.
'I told him, "For two times a year Ben, we're gonna f*** you up." He goes, "Imma f*** you up."'. The Bears and Lions play each other twice a year as NFC North rivals. Those matchups have tilted Detroit's way in recent years with Chicago not being among the NFL's elite.
