Eagles’ Title Defense Ends With Wild-Card Loss as OC Kevin Patullo’s Job Status Faces Swift Scrutiny

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the team is expected to move on from Kevin Patullo after a season-long slide on offense.

Overview

  • Philadelphia lost 23-19 to the 49ers in the NFC Wild Card round, ending its bid to repeat as Super Bowl champion.
  • Jalen Hurts declined to endorse Kevin Patullo’s return, saying it was too soon and that he trusts Howie Roseman, Nick Sirianni and Jeffrey Lurie to decide.
  • Adam Schefter reported Patullo is expected to be fired, signaling likely changes on the offensive side of the staff.
  • A.J. Brown had multiple drops and a heated sideline exchange with Nick Sirianni during the loss, then declined to speak with reporters.
  • Nick Sirianni said the offseason will be used to evaluate coaches and players after the offense averaged 22.3 points per game, a 4.9-point drop, as public reaction ranged from a viral fan and ESPN’s Marcus Spears calling for Patullo’s ouster to Jason Kelce defending the coordinator and emphasizing player execution.
