The Detroit Lions have hired former Arizona Cardinals offensive coordinator Drew Petzing to the same position, multiple outlets reported Monday.
After losing successful playcaller Ben Johnson to be the head coach of the Bears last offseason, the Lions struggled with Josh Morton calling plays this season. Head coach Dan Campbell initially demoted Morton from play-calling duties midseason before Morton was ultimately fired Jan. 6.
Petzing, 38, served as the Cardinals' offensive coordinator and playcaller since 2023 and takes over a potent Lions offense that finished as the No. 1 scoring team in 2024 and tied for fourth in 2025.
After losing quarterback Kyler Murray five games into the season, Petzing and the Cardinals rolled with Jacoby Brissett for the rest of the schedule, leading to a 3-14 record. Petzing's offense finished 19th in yards per game (325.8), seventh in passing yards per game (232.6) and 23rd in points per game (20.9).
Before joining Arizona's staff, Petzing was an offensive assistant for the Minnesota Vikings (2014-19) and a tight ends coach and quarterbacks coach for the Cleveland Browns (2020-22).
