The Detroit Lions have lost some key coaches this offseason. Ben Johnson took the head coach job with the Chicago Bears, Aaron Glenn took the head coach job with the New York Jets and Terrell Williams took the defensive coordinator job with the New England Patriots.
All this movement had some Lions fans wonder when the team could maybe get a measure of revenge and when the Lions will play against these former coaches. So we together this little guide.

Terrell Williams and the Patriots
The Lions are slated to play the entire AFC East in 2026, so they'll get to go up against the Terrell Williams defense at Ford Field then. Williams is a great coach and should have that defense pretty strong by then.
We'll update this post if and when the Lions lose another coach.
