PHILADELPHIA — Kevin Patullo is a really nice and likable guy. The Eagles’ first-year offensive coordinator, who has been integral to the organization’s success since arriving here with coach Nick Sirianni in 2021, is always friendly, genuine and upbeat.
But now he’s the man in the arena.
He has been involved with quarterback Jalen Hurts’ development for four-plus years. But with the OC position comes both criticism and praise. Sunday’s comeback victory over the Los Angeles Rams epitomized that reality. It was a tale of two halves.
Everyone saw it: The first half was horrendous, with negative passing yardage and not much else happening; the second half was magical and refreshing, finally opening up the passing game and involving playmakers A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert.
It was a tale of two halves for sure,” Patullo said Tuesday. “We were able to make the adjustments we needed to get it going in the second half. The guys were awesome at taking in everything, sequencing plays together, making plays and executing.”
Down 26–7 early in the third quarter, the Birds reeled off 26 unanswered points to stun Los Angeles 33–26 at Lincoln Financial Field. It was the biggest comeback since the stadium opened in 2003 and marked the Eagles’ 12th straight home victory
“By nature, if you look around the league, when you start to have those kinds of games, you’ve got to do things a little bit differently to get yourself back into it and steal extra possessions,” he said. “We wanted to be the aggressor. The word I gave the offense going in was ‘attack.’”
Smith’s 4-yard touchdown on fourth down capped a 79-yard drive that put the Eagles ahead. Brown, who had been vocal about wanting more involvement, hauled in a 9-yard TD and a 38-yard catch that ignited the turnaround.
