Cristina Ulbrich, wife of Falcons defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbric, has died following a cancer battle. The team announced her death in a statement, describing her as a devoted member of the Falcons family and a "devoted wife, mother, and friend". Ulbrch and his wife, Jeff, have three children: a daughter, Samantha, and two sons, Jax and Jace. The Falcons asked for privacy from the Ulbrics family during this difficult time. Ulbrach was named the Falcons’ defensive coordinator under new head coach Kevin Stefanski in 2025 after a six-season stint on the Falcons' coaching staff from 2015-20.
