Saquon Barkley: Offense is a group thing, unfair to put it all on Kevin Patullo

Our Summary

The Philadelphia Eagles concluded their season with a 23-19 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, highlighting ongoing offensive struggles. Despite scoring 13 points in the first half, the team failed to maintain momentum, managing only two field goals and three three-and-outs before a turnover on downs in the final minute. Offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo faces criticism for these issues and his future with the team remains uncertain. Running back Saquon Barkley defended Patullo, attributing the problems to poor execution on the field and admitting his own shortcomings in performance. Quarterback Jalen Hurts expressed trust in the team's leadership for decisions regarding Patullo's role. A decision on Patullo's future is expected soon.
