Eagles OC Kevin Patullo Rejects Conservative Label After Comeback Win Over Rams

Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo has denied claims that the team's slow offensive start and first-half play calling against the Los Angeles Rams were overly conservative. Despite star players like Jalen Hurts and A.J. Brown suggesting the offense was playing "not to lose," Patullo emphasized the team's approach was about analyzing and adjusting to challenges during the game rather than a deliberate conservative strategy. He pointed out that the offense began aggressively, but certain drives faced difficulties due to starting field positions and key player absences. The Eagles rallied from a 19-point deficit in the third quarter to win 33-26, highlighting the effectiveness of their halftime adjustments. Patullo acknowledged there is always room to learn and improve but pushed back against the narrative that the offense's initial struggles were due to a conservative philosophy. The Eagles, despite their 3-0 record, rank near the bottom in overall and passing offense, underscoring ongoing offensive challenges.
