The Philadelphia Eagles faced a third straight defeat after Monday's overtime defeat against the Los Angeles Chargers. Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has generated the headlines for his flop outing against the Chargers.
Hurts threw a career-worst four interceptions against the Chargers and led to five turnovers in one of the worst performances of his NFL career. While the Eagles' attack has been struggling over the last few weeks, radio host Tom Kelly pinned the blame on Hurts.
"The quarterback has been the problem for the last five weeks and I am tired of hearing the excuses. I'm tired of hearing about how he plays the best in the biggest games and won the Super Bowl last year. I don't care about that right now."
Eagles offensive coordinator Kevin Patullos has been facing criticism for the team's bad performances on the field. Patullo's house was reportedly vandalized by angry fans amid the team's struggles.
Eagles OC Kevin Patullo believes fans 'crossed line' by vandalizing his house
Kevin Patullo acknowledged the situation about his vandalized house ahead of the Eagles' Week 14 clash on Monday.
“It’s perfectly acceptable to sit up here and talk about what’s going on, how to fix it, what we’re going to do going forward, and we know that," Patullo said. "But when it involves your family, obviously it crosses the line. And so, that happened. At this point, we’ve just gotta move on.
"We’re trying to win. That’s all we want to do is focus — whether it’s my family, whether it’s the team — all we’re trying to do together is focus on this week.”
The Eagles are in a confusing situation with their quarterback unable to find a way out of his slump and his offense not doing him any favors on the field.
