ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Thad Lewis, who played for the Buffalo Bills in 2013, is expected to interview with the team for its offensive coordinator job, according to a report from Pro Football Talk.
Lewis played for eight teams during his eight-year career. That included five starts for the Bills, when he threw for 1,092 yards, four touchdowns, and three interceptions. He played is six games for Buffalo.
After his playing career, Lewis quickly made the transition to coaching. He spent the 2018 and 2019 seasons with UCLA as an offensive analyst before latching on with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2021. He started in Tampa Bay as an assistant wide receivers coach before moving up to quarterbacks coach last season.
Lewis has received a lot of attention for his work this season with quarterback Baker Mayfield, who is one of five candidates for the NFL's Comeback Player of the Year Award. Bills safety Damar Hamlin is also a finalist.
Bills interim offensive coordinator Joe Brady has received a lot of credit for Buffalo's late-season surge, and now he's drawn attention from at least one NFL head coaching job.
The Atlanta Falcons on Saturday confirmed that they have interviewed Brady for their vacant position. The previous coach, Arthur Smith, was fired on Jan. 8 after going 7-10 in each of this three seasons.
The Bills were 5-5 and coming off a Monday Night Football loss to the Denver Broncos when the franchise fired offensive coordinator and applied the "interim" label to Brady back on Nov. 14.
Many Bills players, including quarterback Josh Allen, have voiced their support for Brady to get the job full-time.
