On November 21, against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Johnson totaled 20 tackles, which was the most in the season for a player and the most for a player in the Marvin Lewis-era of coaching in Cincinnati.
General manager Rich McKay was ready to formally offer the job to Lewis, and the Ravens actually held a going-away party for him.
