Eagles OC Kevin Patullo’s Home Egged After Loss to Bears, Sirianni Stands by His Coordinator
Tensions are running high in Philadelphia - and not just on the field.
Eagles offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo’s home was egged on Saturday, a troubling incident that followed the team’s 24-15 loss to the Chicago Bears on Friday night. According to ESPN, the act of vandalism came just one day after Eagles fans at Lincoln Financial Field could be heard chanting “Fire Kevin!” in frustration with the team’s offensive struggles.
It’s been a rough stretch for the Birds. The loss to Chicago marked their second straight defeat, coming on the heels of a brutal collapse against the Dallas Cowboys on November 23, when Philly squandered a 21-point lead. That back-to-back stumble has dropped the Eagles to 8-4 on the season - still a strong record, but not the trajectory this team expected after a hot start.
Patullo, who was promoted to offensive coordinator earlier this year after serving as associate head coach and passing game coordinator, has found himself in the crosshairs of a passionate fanbase that expects results - especially with a roster this talented. Offensive inconsistency has been a recurring theme, and Friday’s showing against the Bears only added fuel to the fire.
But despite the noise - both literal and figurative - Head Coach Nick Sirianni made it clear on Monday that there won’t be any staff shakeups. During a conference call with reporters, Sirianni reaffirmed his commitment to Patullo, stating that he will remain in his role as offensive coordinator.
It's a vote of confidence from the head coach at a time when the offense has been under heavy scrutiny. And while fans are understandably frustrated, the egging of a coach’s home crosses a line. Football is a game of passion, but there’s no place for personal attacks like this.
Looking ahead, the Eagles will try to get back on track when they face the Los Angeles Chargers on December 8 - a team that, like Philly, enters the matchup with an 8-4 record. With playoff positioning on the line and the offense looking to regain its rhythm, this next game could be a pivotal moment in the Eagles’ season.
One thing’s for sure: the pressure is on. And how Patullo and the offense respond could define not just the next few weeks, but the team’s postseason hopes.
