Eagles OC Delivers Blunt Message on Offensive Struggles in 2 Recent Wins

One of the great signs of a good team is one that can win without playing its best. The past two weeks, the Philadelphia Eagles are playing at a high level of defense. But it’s been a different story for offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo and his unit.

The Eagles have scored 26 combined points the past two weeks. They didn’t eclipse 300 yards of offense in either game.

Against the Detroit Lions on Sunday, the Eagles went just 14 of 28 through the air with 124 passing yards. Philadelphia averaged 4.4 yards per pass, which was the team’s lowest output per attempt since the Week 2 victory against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Patullo addressed the team’s offensive struggles in front of the media Tuesday. Patullo assigned offensive blame to self-inflicted mistakes.

“When you look at situations we have when we’re on track, we do a pretty good job,” Patullo told reporters. “If we get off track a little bit, whether it’s a negative play or a penalty, that puts us in a hole. We’ve had some trouble with that.

“It starts with us as a staff to make sure we’re in a good play, and we’re executing at a high level, and we’re all detailed up. Then if something happens like a penalty, sometimes those happen, we’ve got to be able to overcome that.”
