Bears coach Matt Eberflus will call defensive plays in 2024, he confirmed Thursday.
That was expected from the moment the Bears set out to hire a defensive coordinator this offseason. Eberflus called plays for most of last season, with success, after coordinator Alan Williams left following a conduct issue at Halas Hall.
Last month, the Bears hired Bills defensive line coach Eric Washington as coordinator. Eberflus referred to as his good friend on Thursday; the two have known each other for years.
