Mandatory Credit: Mike Dinovo-Imagn Images The Atlanta Falcons completed a virtual interview with Matt Eberflus for their defensive coordinator position, the team announced Saturday.
Eberflus, 54, most recently served as head coach of the Chicago Bears for two-plus seasons. He was fired the day after a Thanksgiving loss to the Detroit Lions, finishing his tenure with a 14-32 record.
The Falcons fired defensive coordinator Jimmy Lake last weekend after one season with the team. Atlanta dropped its final two games to miss the playoffs, giving up a combined 74 points in back-to-back overtime defeats against the Washington Commanders and Carolina Panthers.
Before coaching the Bears, Eberflus was the defensive coordinator of the Indianapolis Colts from 2018-21. He was an assistant coach with the Dallas Cowboys from 2011-17 and the linebackers coach for the Cleveland Browns from 2009-10.
