It did not take long for the Detroit Lions to show off the new and improved offense under rookie coordinator Ben Johnson. Detroit’s offense stormed down the field on the opening drive of the preseason kickoff against the visiting Atlanta Falcons.
Detroit efficiently drove 79 yards down the field in 10 plays, a nice mix of run and pass. After a poor first play, the five guys on the line completely dominated the Falcons defensive front. The Lions capped off the drive with RB D’Andre Swift sashaying into the end zone around the left side for a 9-yard touchdown.
