Chicago Bears interview Detroit Lions assistant coaches Ben Johnson, Aaron Glenn

CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Bears interviewed Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson and defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn for their head coaching position on Saturday.

Both interviews were conducted virtually because the Lions are preparing for the playoffs. Detroit (15-2) earned the top seed in the NFC and has a bye over the weekend.

Johnson has spent three seasons as Detroit’s offensive coordinator. This season, the Lions led the league in points per game and finished second in yards passing and total yards per game.

This is Glenn’s fourth season as Detroit’s defensive coordinator. The Lions were seventh-best in the league in points allowed and third-best in yards passing allowed per game.

Meanwhile, the New York Jets have interviewed eight candidates, including Glenn, for their head coach’s position, and at least 13 candidates for their open general manager’s position, including Lions’ executive Chris Spielman.

Starting at $4.62/week.
