On Friday at Halas Hall, Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus announced that defensive coordinator Alan Williams would miss Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for a personal reason. Williams was also absent on Thursday for a person reason.
With Williams not making the trip to Tampa, Eberflus will take over defensive play calling.
Eberflus was the defensive coordinator for the Indianapolis Colts for four years before being hired away by the Bears in 2022.
“I’ve done it for 12 years total,” Eberflus said earlier today via ESPN about calling defensive plays.
