The Atlanta Falcons have officially appointed Jeff Ulbrich, who served as the interim head coach for the New York Jets, as their new defensive coordinator. The announcement was made on Saturday, marking a significant move for the Falcons in their efforts to bolster their defensive strategies.

Ulbrich took over the Jets mid-season following the dismissal of former head coach Robert Saleh, leading the team to a dismal 3-9 finish over the last twelve games. His experience is expected to play a crucial role in reshaping the Falcons' defensive unit as they prepare for the upcoming season.
