Patullo Targets First-Down Fix as Eagles Dissect Offensive Slump

The staff is rewatching failed drives to pinpoint fixes before the postseason.

Overview

  • Kevin Patullo pointed to inefficient first downs as the key factor behind stalled drives in the Week 17 win over Buffalo.
  • Philadelphia managed 17 yards on 17 plays in the second half with one first down, no completions, and five straight punts.
  • Saquon Barkley averaged 1.75 yards per carry after halftime, putting Jalen Hurts in persistent long-yardage situations.
  • Patullo rejected the notion of a quick 'switch,' describing the offense as inconsistent and emphasizing detailed execution.
  • Nick Sirianni said he will do more between drives to help, and Patullo welcomed the added involvement while retaining play-calling.
