Philly comes into this one losers of two straight riding some awful defensive performances. Coordinator Sean Desai will move to the coaching booth tonight and assistant Matt Patricia will serve as the team’s on-field play-caller.
According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Eagles players weren’t buying into what Desai was selling; sensing a lack in confidence in his coaching style.
There’s only four games left to get things corrected before the playoffs get started. It starts tonight in the Pacific Northwest.
