Kevin Patullo Responds After Vandalism Incident, Eagles' Offense Still Searching for Answers
Eagles offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo made his first public comments this week after his home was vandalized following Philadelphia’s Week 13 loss to the Bears-a game that further stoked frustration among a fanbase already on edge. While Patullo acknowledged the passion that comes with coaching in a city like Philly, he made it clear there’s a line, and this time, it was crossed.
“Unfortunately it happened,” Patullo said, referring to the incident. “I’ve been here five years now, and it’s been awesome.
This is such a unique place to coach and play. It’s very special.”
Patullo, who’s been part of the Eagles' coaching staff through deep playoff runs and a Super Bowl victory, understands the intensity that comes with football in Philadelphia. The fans are deeply invested-that’s part of what makes the city one of the most electric environments in the NFL. But when criticism turns personal, especially when it involves family, it’s no longer part of the job description.
“It’s perfectly acceptable to sit up here and talk about what’s going on, how to fix it, what we’re going to do going forward,” Patullo said. “But when it involves your family, obviously crosses the line.”
The incident, which drew attention on social media, involved individuals throwing objects at Patullo’s home. While some online speculated they were rocks, the Moorestown Police Department later confirmed the objects were eggs. As of Monday, the investigation was still ongoing.
The tension stems from more than just one disappointing loss. The Eagles' offense, loaded with top-tier talent at nearly every skill position, has been underperforming this season. Under Patullo, in his first year as offensive coordinator, the unit ranks 24th in total yards and 19th in points per game-well below expectations for a team with championship aspirations.
Things hit a low point during a brutal four-quarter stretch that began with the second half collapse against the Cowboys in Week 12 and continued into a touchdown-less first half against the Bears. The frustration was palpable at Lincoln Financial Field, where fans let their team hear it with loud boos as the offense struggled to find any momentum.
Even during the halftime broadcast, the criticism was unrelenting. Amazon Prime Video analyst Richard Sherman didn’t hold back, suggesting head coach Nick Sirianni should “find a new offensive coordinator.”
The Eagles did manage to find the end zone twice in the second half, but the rhythm never fully clicked, and the loss only deepened concerns about the offense’s direction. After the game, Sirianni told reporters he was “evaluating everything,” but reaffirmed that Patullo would remain the team’s play-caller.
That stance didn’t change on Monday. Sirianni was again asked about Patullo’s role, and once more confirmed that the offensive coordinator would continue calling plays heading into Week 14.
The Eagles now turn their focus to a matchup with the Chargers-a team that presents its own challenges but also an opportunity for the offense to reset and respond. For Patullo and the Eagles, the message is clear: the criticism isn’t going away, but it’s time to find answers on the field.
