US EditionEagles Need to Figure Out if Offensive Coordinator Kevin Patullo Is Still Right for the Job
Coach Nick Sirianni maintains confidence in Kevin Patullo despite a 21-point blown lead and offensive issues, with the Eagles holding an 8-3 record this season.
- On Monday, Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni defended Kevin Patullo, saying `I thought Kevin did a good job of calling it` and he has not considered making a change despite the 24-21 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.
- The Eagles' offense stalled after the opener, recording only one more first down until the fourth quarter amid four straight punts, a missed field goal, a fumble, and 14 penalties with two fourth-quarter turnovers.
- Receiver output has been inconsistent: DeVonta Smith had six catches for 89 yards, while A.J. Brown had eight catches for 110 yards, despite the offense ranking 17th in points and 24th in yards under Patullo.
- Fan and media pressure escalated, with cries for change around Kevin Patullo growing and some Eagles fans wanting him out Monday after the collapse, while some analysts cautioned firing him now would be unwise.
- Historically, the collapse ranks with Andy Reid's 1999 loss, and if the offense doesn't improve, the Philadelphia Eagles won't repeat as Super Bowl champions; three weaker defenses remain in the final six games.
