Eagles Opt for Defensive Shake-Up, Handing Playcalling Duties to Patricia
Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni made the decision to hand defensive playcalling duties to senior assistant Matt Patricia in an effort to improve the struggling defense. While the defense showed improvement in the first half against the Seattle Seahawks, they ultimately let the team down in the second half, resulting in a 20-17 defeat. Despite the loss, the Eagles are still in contention for the NFC East title and have a favorable closing schedule.
