Eagles' Title Defense Ends in 23-19 Wild Card Loss as Offensive Woes Trigger Staff Review

Head coach Nick Sirianni said everyone will be evaluated, putting first-year play-caller Kevin Patullo under intense scrutiny.

Overview

  • Philadelphia managed just 114 second-half yards with three quick three-and-outs after taking a 13-10 halftime lead.
  • Jalen Hurts finished 20-of-35 for 168 yards and one touchdown and his final pass on fourth-and-11 fell incomplete with 43 seconds left.
  • A.J. Brown had multiple third-down drops, was seen in a heated exchange with Sirianni on the sideline, and declined to speak with reporters postgame.
  • Rookie Quinyon Mitchell intercepted two passes and the Eagles held a +2 turnover margin, but a missed extra point and conservative decisions loomed large.
  • Fans and media directed blame toward Patullo on social media, while Hurts refused to single out coaches and teammates such as Jordan Mailata defended execution.
