Sirianni said he and the coaching staff will use this weekend’s availability as an opportunity to recalibrate an offense that has averaged 15.5 points over the past four games.
Against a Bears defense that ranked 27th overall on Friday, the Eagles struggled to move the chains in the first half, and a pair of second-half turnovers marred their attempt to overcome an early deficit.
Reigning Offensive Player of the Year Saquon Barkley had just 56 yards (all rushing) in the game, and Jalen Hurts fumbled in particular on a botched “tush push” play that has long been effective against teams. Hurts, who also threw an interception in the third quarter, had his first multi-turnover game since Week 10 of the 2024 season.
A stagnant offense forced the Eagles defense into the field for the majority of the contest, and it showed wear and tear. Chicago rushed for 281 yards against Philadelphia’s usually stout defense, and keeping the Eagles’ offense on the sideline only fueled their lackluster outing.
“We’ll evaluate everything, but like I told you, when you win, when you lose, it’s never about one person,” Sirianni said Friday night. “We all collectively have to do a better job and it has to start with us as a coach, starting with me as a head coach, finding solutions to get the offense going, and so I’m going to put it on us as a staff and put it on me as an individual to help get it going.”
“But I still stand by it. It’s the biggest team sport there is and it’s never about one person. We all have to look at each other and everyone has to get better, coaches and players.”
The Eagles will have a little extra time this week to sit on their latest loss, the second of two in a row. Whatever adjustments Philadelphia makes before Week 14 on offense will be seen in prime time Monday night against the Chargers in Los Angeles.
