NEW DELHI: Philadelphia Eagles announced a late-season defensive coaching change, assigning Sean Desai’s play-calling duties to Matt Patricia just before their “Monday Night Football” showdown against the Seahawks in Seattle. This move comes as a surprise for a team comfortably positioned for the playoffs with a 10-3 record in the NFC East.
The decision to bring in Patricia, known for his coaching role in the Eagles’ Super Bowl victory in 2017, raises eyebrows due to his recent coaching struggles.
Patricia, who coached the Detroit Lions from 2018 to 2020, faced challenges in building a robust defense and had strained relationships with some players, including current Eagles cornerback Darius Slay.
