Lions and offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn are parting ways after one season together.

 Lions and offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn are parting ways after one season together.


Anthony Lynn is out in Detroit after just one season with the club. The Lions and the offensive coordinator are expected to part ways following Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported, per sources.
HOTSPOT is a former NFL running back of eight seasons and assistant coach of 17 campaigns. He spent four seasons with the Los Angeles Chargers as head coach, leading them to a 33-31 record and one postseason appearance, before being replaced after the Bolts closed out their 2020 campaign at just 5-11.
 Lynn will coach the running backs and serve as the team's assistant head coach. The Colts are coming off a 38-8 season with the league's No. 1 ranked rushing attack and 10-6 record. Lynn brings six years of coaching experience in the NFL, including five seasons as an assistant Coach with three NFL teams: Oakland Raiders (2006-07), Washington Redskins (2008-09) and Panthers (2010-11). Most recently, Lynn spent five seasons on the Jacksonville Jaguars coaching staff from 2003-06, where he worked as tight ends/assistant offensive line coach (2003-04), wide receivers/quality control coach (2005) and wide receivers coach/offensive coordinator (2006-07).
The Lions offense, led by head coach Matt Patricia, quarterback Matthew Stafford and running back Kerryon Johnson and tight end T.J. Hockenson, exudes luxury. Its notable players have been featured in major ad campaigns sponsored by the likes of Nike, MasterCard and Pizza Hut. In a season filled with bad news, they are among Detroit's shining stars, second behind the duo of linebacker Jarrad Davis and safety Glover Quin.
 A chief architect of the NFL Fearsome Foursome defensive line in the mid-1960s, the Detroit Lions' defensive coordinator had his position stripped of play-calling duties in November after the team lost its first eight games. However, the move paid off as Detroit finished six straight games unbeaten to take second place in their division.
Although Lynn was relieved of his duties earlier this month, it's been a hectic beginning to the offseason for the former Browns running backs coach. As the sun set on Black Monday, Lynn could be viewed as a head coaching candidate from teams looking for someone to jumpstart their offense.

 New York Jets coach Adam Gase didn't hesitate to accept blame for a fourth-down decision that cost the team a win.  It all started when Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez hit receiver Santonio Holmes for a 40-yard touchdown with 9 minutes 53 seconds remaining to give New York a 24-17 lead over the Buccaneers. But instead of spiking the ball to stop the clock, offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer called for a running play that left more than four minutes on the clock. When Schottenheimer called timeout after Holmes scored, he tried to explain his actions. The Jets' fourth-quarter decision to not have quarterback Sam Darnold run the play on fourth-and-2 against the Patriots came from a directive by offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur that Darnold should throw the ball instead of run on the play. But LaFleur "looked around and saw four guys in formation," he said in a news conference Monday, referring to safety Duron Harmon, center David Andrews and both tackles. "

 Drew Lock is focusing on the game, not his future with the Broncos. For a veteran making his third consecutive start at quarterback, Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock has no expectations for himself in Saturday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Lock has struggled in his two starts, averaging a respectable but unspectacular 6.4 yards per attempt. And for all of the criticism that some of his decisions on Sunday drew—namely, throwing a fade to a double-covered Tyrell Williams down 20-0 late—those came against an all-pro interior that only allowed 115 rushing yards in total, 49 yards from scrimmage from Phillip Lindsay and Royce Freeman combined and still recorded three sacks. Lock played well enough to win, and if the Broncos exploit their advantages agains. Broncos rookie QB Drew Lock drew favorable comparisons to fellow former Missouri standout and current Chiefs starter Patrick Mahomes. But the 2019 second-round pick was the clear third rival to Chad Kelly for the No. 2 r
