The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-eagles" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Philadelphia Eagles</a> could be in deep trouble for the NFL 2026 season. The latest reports state that two highly-important players could be retiring from football. To make it worse, it would heavily affect Jalen Hurts and the offense.



According to Jeff McLane of Uncovering the Birds and other multiple reports, right tackle Lane Johnson and left guard Landon Dickerson could consider retiring from the NFL. This would be a massive blow to the Eagles and specifically, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jalen-hurts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jalen Hurts</a>, who would see how his two star linemen won’t be there to protect him anymore.



However, McLane gave some hope. “In terms of Lane and his future, here’s what I can say: He’s definitely not sure if he’s coming back or not, is the impression I get. You would think maybe this would make it a little less likely,” McLane said, stating that it is just a thought, not a certainty. “When you’re looking at retirement, it’s, ‘Can my body do it again? Do I want to do it again? Lane has a very high standard for himself.”



As for Landon Dickerson, it is all the more surprising given that Dickerson is only 27 years old. “Landon Dickerson may be even more of a question mark,” McLane said. This was backed up by Mike Garafolo of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> Network. Dickerson would definitely shock as he has been majorily healthy during his five-year career.



<h2>The Eagles offensive line would be absolutely destroyed</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/02/06125356/landon-dickerson-lane-johnson-1920x1080.webp" alt="Offensive linemen Lane Johnson #65 and Landon Dickerson #64 of the Philadelphia Eagles" class="wp-image-574787"></figure><figcaption>Offensive linemen Lane Johnson #65 and Landon Dickerson #64 of the Philadelphia Eagles</figcaption></figure>



The Eagles were known for having the best offensive line in football. However, their captain and center Jason Kelce retired after the 2023 season. Still, a good core was left. Now, if they lose Dickerson and Johnson, it would be an absolute travesty. Only LT Jordan Mailata would remain from that great unit, alongside many new players. Without an elite O-line, the fact is Jalen Hurts could get exposed.

<h2>The running game could also suffer</h2>



Of course, the running game starring Saquon Barkley would also have plenty of things to adjust. Barkley had a “down” year compared to his 2024 season. In 2024, he had 345 attempts, 2,005 yards, and 13 touchdowns and was an All-Pro.



In 2025, he ended with 1,140 yards and just seven touchdowns. Basically, he had half the production. Without an elite offensive line, Barkley will have an uphill battle to get some momentum going for the team’s rushing game.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-eagles" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Philadelphia Eagles</a> hired a new offensive coordinator, but now, they also brought a former Baker Mayfield coach to help out as pass game coordinator. Hence, this is a move that directly affects none other than Jalen Hurts.



According to multiple reports, Josh Grizzard has been hired as the Eagles’ pass game coordinator. This comes almost immediately after the announcement that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/eagles-hire-new-coach-for-jalen-hurts-who-couldnt-achieve-success-with-jordan-love" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sean Mannion will become the new offensive coordinator</a>.



Grizzard failed to deliver as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator. After not being able to work it out with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baker-mayfield" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Baker Mayfield</a>, now Grizzard will help Mannion with Jalen Hurts.



<h2>This is a known position for Grizzard</h2>



Before being an offensive coordinator on the Buccaneers, he had this same exact position of being a pass game coordinator. To be fair, he was great in that role, so much so that he was promoted. Now, it’s back to his bread and butter and with a loaded roster of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jalen-hurts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jalen Hurts</a>, AJ Brown, and DeVonta Smith as the core of the passing game of the Eagles.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/30131752/josh-the-posh-grizzard-1920x1080.webp" alt="New Eagles pass game coordinator, Josh Grizzard" class="wp-image-570727"></figure><figcaption>New Eagles pass game coordinator, Josh Grizzard</figcaption></figure>



Grizzard was also in the mix to be the team’s offensive coordinator. He will now be entering a tough spot. Even though the Eagles have a loaded roster, the fact is that this team has some serious dysfunction. The talent is huge, but so is the drama.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/eagles-report-reveals-whos-expected-to-call-plays-between-sean-mannion-and-nick-sirianni"></div>


<h2>All eyes are on Nick Sirianni</h2>



Sirianni is an offensive-minded head coach, and that’s why all eyes are on him. When a team has a QB like Jalen Hurts, a star running back like Saquon Barkley, two star receivers in AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith, and a star tight end in Dallas Goedert, you must deliver. Sirianni is not one to call plays, but he can’t trust blindly on his coordinators. That is a boom-or-bust recipe. 



Hence, if Mannion and Grizzard don’t work, all the blame will be put on Sirianni this time. Despite going to two Super Bowls and winning one of them in only five years, he might be on the hot seat. The team’s offense was what didn’t click last year, as defensive coordinator Vic Fangio kept delivering an elite level of play in his unit.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-eagles" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Philadelphia Eagles</a> are gearing up for the 2026 NFL season. Now, the NFC East club has brought in a new coach to guide Jalen Hurts, although his experience working with Jordan Love has not inspired much optimism.



Earlier in the offseason, the Eagles announced that Kevin Patullo would be relieved of his duties as offensive coordinator. After weeks of searching, Philadelphia has now found his replacement.



On Thursday, the Eagles confirmed that Sean Mannion will join the team as offensive coordinator. He arrives after serving as the quarterbacks coach for the Green Bay Packers.



<h2>Mannion struggled to find success with Jordan Love</h2>



Mannion is a former Pac-12 record-setting quarterback at Oregon State who spent nine seasons in the NFL with the Rams, Vikings, and Seahawks. However, he was unable to find sustained success as a player.



Mannion has worked with quarterbacks such as Jared Goff, Kirk Cousins, Russell Wilson, Geno Smith, Nick Foles, and most recently Jordan Love. With Love, many believed the Packers had everything in place to succeed—but the results ultimately fell short of expectations.



Now, Mannion takes over an Eagles offense that has struggled at times in recent seasons. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jalen-hurts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jalen Hurts</a> will need to silence his critics, and Mannion will be tasked with helping him accomplish that challenging goal.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/eagles-learn-strong-coaching-candidates-have-turned-down-offers-to-join-nick-sirianni-in-2026"></div>


“I’m thrilled to have Sean Mannion on board as the new offensive coordinator of the Philadelphia Eagles,” head coach Nick Sirianni said. “My goal throughout this process was to operate with an open mind regarding the future of our offense to find the best fit for the Eagles. Over the last few weeks, I had an opportunity to meet with a number of talented candidates and great offensive minds. I am appreciative of the time I was able to spend with each of them. Some came with years of experience running an offense and calling plays.”

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-eagles" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Philadelphia Eagles</a>‘ Super Bowl defense came to an abrupt, early end. That prompted the team to make changes and now finds itself in the hunt for a new offensive coordinator. This is a key decision, because that will determine how Jalen Hurts conducts the offense in the 2026 NFL season.



According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, it’s expected that Brian Daboll interviews for the Eagles OC job. Daboll is one of the most sought out names on the market right now. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/justin-herbert-could-potentially-get-former-coach-of-the-year-as-chargers-oc-in-2026-nfl-season" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The former Coach of the Year could also go to be an offensive coordinator for Justin Herbert’s Chargers though</a>.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brian-daboll" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Daboll</a> was fired midseason after three-and-a-half seasons with the Giants. He did have bright moments, though there were also plenty of moments were he looked overwhelmed. Also important to note, the Giants didn’t give Daboll the best hand to succeed.



<h2>Daboll’s temperament could also not match well in Philly</h2>



Daboll is known for having a temper, and that might not be what the Eagles need right now. After all, the team looks like a ticking bomb with AJ Brown making tantrums, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jalen-hurts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jalen Hurts</a> being passive aggressive on the podium or head coach Nick Sirianni publicly confronting his players. A guy like Daboll might be the one who puts everyone on their place, or joins the mess. It’s a risky spot.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/10/24132248/briandaboll-1-1920x1080.webp" alt="Brian Daboll head coach of the New York Giants" class="wp-image-514696" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure><figcaption>Brian Daboll, former head coach of the New York Giants</figcaption></figure>



As for his abilities as a playcaller, the fact is the Eagles do possess talent that Daboll could exploit. Daboll loves using crossing routes and RPOs, a playbook where Jalen Hurts could absolutely thrive in.

<h2>The Eagles have the tools to bounce back</h2>



The fact is roster-wise, the Eagles have all the tools to go back into Super Bowl contention. The problem is the drama within their building. If they somehow manage to make peace and find stability to balance their egos, this team could be once again considered a total juggernaut.

NFL Rumors: Eagles expected to interview former Coach of the Year as Jalen Hurts’ new OC

NFL Rumors: Eagles expected to interview former Coach of the Year as Jalen Hurts' new OC - Bolavip US

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-eagles" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Philadelphia Eagles</a> had an early exit to their Super Bowl defense, so the franchise knows changes must be made. One of them might involve AJ Brown, who is, on paper, Jalen Hurts‘ best weapon.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aj-brown" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">AJ Brown</a> had a tumultuous season with the Eagles in 2025. He had plenty of temper tantrums, back and forths with head coach Nick Sirianni and somewhat of a passive aggressive relationship with quarterback Jalen Hurts. Still, no one can deny he is a special player.



The team’s general manager knows it. Per Mike Garafolo of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> Network, Roseman spoke about AJ Brown’s future. “It’s hard to find great players in the NFL and AJ’s a great player. That’s what we’re going out and looking for, when we go out in free agency and the Draft, is trying to find great players who love football and he’s that guy. So that would be my answer.” That is very ambiguous answer, classic Eagles behaviour.



<h2>AJ Brown ended the season on a low</h2>



Brown had a crucial drop against the 49ers in the Wild Card Round, which sparked a confrontation with HC Nick Sirianni. During the game, he only had three catches in seven targets for only 25 yards. 



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Extended clip of Nick Sirianni going after AJ Brown on the sideline <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/FlyEaglesFly?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#FlyEaglesFly</a> <a href="https://t.co/n15lQDVxee">pic.twitter.com/n15lQDVxee</a>— Stadium Live (@StadiumLiveApp) <a href="https://twitter.com/StadiumLiveApp/status/2010486090503716950?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 11, 2026</a></blockquote></div><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



Brown barely cracked the 1,000-yard mark this season as he ended with 1,003 and seven touchdowns. He actually has scored seven touchdowns in each of the last three seasons in Philadelphia. However, it seems like he is done with the team, but Roseman would only trade him if something elite is in return.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/eagles-2026-free-agents-dallas-goedert-jaelan-phillips-and-other-stars-running-out-of-contract"></div>


<h2>This would be just one of few changes</h2>



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nick-sirianni-confirms-change-in-eagles-coaching-staff-to-help-jalen-hurts-in-2026" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Nick Sirianni already confirmed a change in the Eagles coaching staff for next year</a>. However, it remains to be seen if a new weapon arrives this offseason. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jalen-hurts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jalen Hurts</a> is in desperate need of a bounce back season as well.



What we know for sure is how aggressive and genius Howie Roseman is during the offseason. Hence, no big movements would be surprising if they come from the Eagles. It’s a matter of when, not a matter of if.

Being the Super Bowl champions, expectations were high for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jalen-hurts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jalen Hurts</a> and the Philadelphia Eagles. However, after a Wild Card round loss, head coach Nick Sirianni decided to change some stuff in the coaching staff.



In a social media post from the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-eagles" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Eagles</a>‘ profiles, Sirianni stated that the team will relieve Kevin Patullo from the offensive coordinator duties. While Patullo will no longer be the OC, Sirianni is open to keeping Patullo on staff, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.



In 2025, the offense took a hit as Patullo took over the coordinator role following Kellen Moore’s departure. Patullo failed to properly utilize wide receiver AJ Brown and running back <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/saquon-barkley" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Saquon Barkley</a>, who were key for the team’s Super Bowl win in the 2024 season.



<h2>Another year, another playcaller for Jalen Hurts</h2>



Since his college days, Jalen Hurts has had too many playcallers. In fact just one has remained for longer than a year. Hurts is a guy who has overcome plenty of obstacles en route to a successful career, but this one must take the cake. 



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true"><a href="https://t.co/7K6wli7tk8">pic.twitter.com/7K6wli7tk8</a>— Philadelphia Eagles (@Eagles) <a href="https://twitter.com/Eagles/status/2011174173322739964?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 13, 2026</a></blockquote></div><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



According to Ari Meirov, this is the list of playcallers that have worked with Hurts since 2016:


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/eagles-2026-free-agents-dallas-goedert-jaelan-phillips-and-other-stars-running-out-of-contract"></div>

<h2>Sirianni has to right the ship</h2>



The Eagles are an absolute bizarre team right now. Arguably the most talented team in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>, it’s also incredibly dysfunctional. The locker room never seems to be getting along, and now the results are not accompanying the team, the drama is at an all-time high.

Things certainly didn’t go as expected in Chiefs Kingdom. The early pre-playoff elimination made it clear that changes are needed, and the first moves are slowly starting to take shape in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City</a>. Starting in 2026, Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes will be without a running back, who’s heading to Jalen Hurts’ Philadelphia Eagles.



Insider Tom Pelissero revealed via his X account that Carson Steele is headed to the NFC to join the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-eagles">Eagles</a>, according to an announcement from his agent, Randy Fisher. The former UCLA standout will be taking on a new chapter starting next season.



During the most recent campaign, Steele saw no regular-season game action beyond the preseason. In 2024, he logged 56 carries for 183 yards, failing to score a touchdown.



Long overshadowed by bigger-name talents such as Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt, Steele will now look to carve out a much larger role in Philadelphia alongside with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jalen-hurts">Jalen Hurts</a>, aiming to finally prove that he belongs in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a>.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/13131716/carson-steele-1920x1080.webp" alt="Carson Steele" class="wp-image-561372"></figure><figcaption>Carson Steele #42 of the Kansas City Chiefs.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Major changes are coming to Chiefs Kingdom</h2>



As the Kansas City Chiefs enter the 2026 offseason, the coaching staff is bracing for a significant shake-up. With his contract expiring and multiple teams like the Tennessee Titans and Las Vegas Raiders showing interest, offensive coordinator <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/chiefs-coach-officially-considering-leaving-andy-reid-for-afc-rivals-in-2026">Matt Nagy is officially considering leaving Andy Reid</a> to pursue a primary play-calling role or another head-coaching opportunity.

While <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/andy-reid">Reid</a> has publicly supported his assistant’s ambitions, the Chiefs are already vetting potential successors—including names like Eric Bieniemy and Kliff Kingsbury—to revitalize an offense that saw a statistical dip during the 2025 campaign.

<h2>What will happen with Travis Kelce?</h2>



After a disappointing 2026 season, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/travis-kelce">Kelce</a>‘s future remains the biggest question mark in the building. While the team recently secured depth by re-signing Tre Watson to a reserve contract, the front office is giving its superstar all the time he needs to decide his next move.



With his contract officially expired and a potential media career looming, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/chiefs-officially-secure-te-for-2026-with-travis-kelce-still-contemplating-retirement">Travis Kelce is still contemplating retirement</a> as he weighs whether to return for one final run or walk away from the game.

The Super Bowl champions won’t make it back to back. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-eagles" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Philadelphia Eagles</a> fell to the San Francisco 49ers in upsetting fashion. However, the news don’t stop there, as one of Jalen Hurts‘ more experienced teammates is considering retiring from the NFL.



According to Mike Garafolo of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> Network, defensive end Brandon Graham said he’ll take time to think about his future. Graham was retired but came back this year to help the team find solutions to its pass rush problems. 



Per Garafolo, Graham told him after the game against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">49ers</a> that he felt his body responded well and that “he was just getting into a groove down the stretch.” Graham will turn 38 in April but it seems like while he is considering hanging the cleats, it will all depend on how he feels he can feature on the team in the next year.



<h2>Graham is an Eagles legend already</h2>



Graham is a two-time Super Bowl and one of the most storied players in Eagles history. His legacy is set in stone. Graham has 79.5 career sacks, 23 forced fumbles, 495 total tackles and had an all-important play in Super Bowl LII to seal the win for the Eagles.



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">If Brandon Graham never made this play, we may only have one Super Bowl right now.<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/FlyEaglesFly?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#FlyEaglesFly</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Eagles?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Eagles</a><a href="https://t.co/GKbbtTKnHT">pic.twitter.com/GKbbtTKnHT</a>— Carl 🐍 (@ProjectHurts) <a href="https://twitter.com/ProjectHurts/status/1902036673766064445?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 18, 2025</a></blockquote></div><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Graham will surely be in the team’s ring of honor one day. However, it’s impressive how he still loves not only the team, but the game of football. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/jalen-hurts-could-lose-a-coach-in-eagles-following-2026-nfl-playoff-exit" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">In a team where changes are expected, including coaches</a>, Graham has been one true, high constant for the team since 2010.

<h2>Even if Graham returns, Eagles need more pass rush</h2>



The Eagles did two things to strengthen their pass rush this season following Za’Darius Smith’s unexpected retirement. They unretired Graham, and also traded for Jaelan Phillips. However, more help is needed. Phillips made an instant impact but then his output became stagnant.



Now that Graham is also considering retiring for good, one of the top priorities for this offseason should be acquiring a pass rusher. Also, with all the AJ Brown drama, maybe get a new wide receiver that helps <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jalen-hurts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jalen Hurts</a>.

Defeats often leave lasting effects, and this will likely be the case at the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-eagles">Philadelphia Eagles</a>’ facilities. The team’s exit from the 2026 NFL playoffs at the hands of the San Francisco 49ers hit hard, and one of Jalen Hurts’ coaches is now under scrutiny heading into the offseason.



After the game, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nick-sirianni">Nick Sirianni</a> faced the media and was asked about the team’s immediate plans, specifically regarding offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo, whose play-calling has been questioned.



“There will be time to evaluate everybody’s performance,” Sirianni said, via a transcript from the team. “Right now, I feel for all our guys in the locker room, all the players, all the coaches, the front office, everybody that works so hard, the fans that come out and support us, Mr. [team owner Jeffrey] Lurie. I feel for all of us, all of them, and there’ll be time to evaluate everything coming up.”



Over the past four seasons, the Eagles have had four offensive coordinators. While nothing is certain yet, speculation is growing that the list could reach five next season if Kevin Patullo loses his job.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/12092938/kevin-patullo-1920x1080.webp" alt="Kevin Patullo" class="wp-image-560622"></figure><figcaption>Offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo of the Philadelphia Eagles.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>A decision that could change the Eagles’ future</h2>



The 2026 NFC Wild Card game ended in heartbreak for the Eagles as Patullo’s controversial play call on a decisive fourth-and-11 with just 43 seconds remaining sealed their 23-19 loss to the 49ers.

Faced with a four-corner defense specifically designed to stop deep passes, Patullo opted for an ordinary four-receiver vertical concept that resulted in an incomplete pass into double coverage. 



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jalen-hurts">Jalen Hurts</a> visibly showed his frustration in the huddle, with cameras capturing his look of disbelief toward the sideline, a reaction that underscored the growing friction between the franchise quarterback and his offensive coordinator’s “predictable” late-game strategy.

<h2>Nick Sirianni’s current situation</h2>



Following their Super Bowl LIX victory, Nick Sirianni solidified his future with the Philadelphia Eagles by signing a massive multi-year contract extension in May 2025. This deal, reportedly worth over $15 million annually, effectively replaced the final year of his original contract and rewarded him for becoming the first coach to lead his team to four straight playoff appearances and two conference titles in his first four seasons.

The Philadelphia Eagles are set to make their debut in the 2026 NFL playoffs, and hopes of returning to the Super Bowl remain intact. Their last outing in Week 18 ended with an unexpected loss to the Commanders, which also resulted in a significant fine for one of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jalen-hurts">Jalen Hurts</a>’ teammates.



Only a few minutes into the second quarter, safety Sidney Brown deliberately hit his opponent in the torso with his helmet, an action that did not go unnoticed by the authorities.



Although the referees did not throw any yellow flags during the same game, according to the <a href="https://operations.nfl.com/inside-football-ops/rules-enforcement/gameday-accountability/">NFL’s official website</a>, Brown was heavily fined a total of $46,371 for unnecessary roughness.



Another <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-eagles">Eagles</a> player fined during this game was Darius Cooper, although for a significantly smaller amount. It was $4,694, and the reason was unsportsmanlike conduct for taunting.

<h2>Eagles’ 2026 playoffs debut</h2>



The Philadelphia Eagles begin their postseason journey today as they host the San Francisco 49ers at Lincoln Financial Field for a high-stakes Wild Card matchup. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfc-playoff-bracket-and-final-standings-updated-after-2025-week-18"></div>


Fresh off a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> MVP performance last season, Jalen Hurts looks to cement his legacy by leading the Birds on another deep run, relying on his dual-threat dominance and the explosive addition of Saquon Barkley to the backfield. 



If the Eagles secure a victory today against their NFC rivals, they are guaranteed a trip to Soldier Field next weekend to face the No. 2 seeded Chicago Bears in the Divisional Round.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-eagles">Philadelphia Eagles</a> have already achieved their first goal of the season by clinching the NFC East division and securing a spot in the playoffs. In this context, head coach Nick Sirianni made a decision regarding Jalen Hurts and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/saquon-barkley">Saquon Barkley</a> ahead of the Week 18 matchup against the Washington Commanders, making it clear that obtaining the No. 2 seed was not the priority.



Heading into the final game of the regular season, there was a concrete possibility that Sirianni would choose to rest his starters and face the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/washington-commanders">Commanders</a> with an alternative lineup. Ultimately, the coach confirmed this decision, prioritizing the health of his players over securing the No. 2 seed.



“At the end of the day, it’s not a guarantee that we can get the two seed, but I can guarantee that I can rest the starters,” he said during the Eagles’ press conference. “I just felt that was the best thing for our football team”.



“I feel really good about the guys that are going to go in there and play — obviously you can’t rest everybody — we had a good week of practice and we’re going in there to try to win the game with some guys who haven’t played a ton of snaps on offense and defense but who have contributed. I just felt that was the best thing for the football team this week and moving forward,” Sirianni concluded.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20260102_BUS_555147_sirianni_ff397714.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="" class="wp-image-555173"></figure><figcaption>Head coach Nick Sirianni of the Philadelphia Eagles.

Sirianni made this decision because the risk of a loss is minimal, as the Eagles would not move from the No. 3 seed even if they fall to the Commanders. However, a Philadelphia victory combined with a Chicago Bears loss to the Detroit Lions would give the Eagles the No. 2 seed, securing an extra home game in the playoffs.



<h2>Tanner McKee ready to take the field</h2>


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-teams-with-the-most-consecutive-losses"></div>

 

 


This will be a significant opportunity for reserve players like quarterback Tanner McKee, who will replace <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jalen-hurts">Hurts</a> and typically does not see much playing time during the regular season.



This will mark McKee’s second start of the season. In his limited action so far, he has been efficient, completing 65.9% of his passes with four touchdowns and no interceptions.



“Obviously, there’s excitement when you haven’t gotten meaningful snaps in a while, so I am excited,” McKee said during a press conference. “Coach was saying it before when we were talking about ball security, he’s like, ‘Oh, some of us haven’t gotten hit in a while,’ and he turned right towards me. I’m like, ‘Dude, it’s actually been a while since I’ve gotten hit.’ So, yeah, I’m excited to go out and play the game. It’s fun getting in a rhythm and playing football again. This feels familiar, and it’s great. I’m excited”.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-eagles" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Philadelphia Eagles</a> are in the playoffs. Nevertheless, their final seeding in the NFC could still change, which is why the team has reportedly made a decision on whether to start <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jalen-hurts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jalen Hurts</a>, Saquon Barkley, and other key players in Week 18 against the Washington Commanders.



Eagles head coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nick-sirianni" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Nick Sirianni</a> said on Monday that he had not yet decided whether to play his starters against Washington. However, it appears that a few days later, that decision has already been made.



According to Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer, the Eagles have decided to sit most of their starters in Week 18, including Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley. With the NFC East title already clinched, there is little at stake for Philadelphia in the regular-season finale against the Commanders.



<h2>What would happen if the Eagles lose to the Commanders in Week 18?</h2>



As mentioned earlier, the risk is minimal for the Eagles in Week 18. They have already secured the NFC East title, guaranteeing at least one playoff game at Lincoln Financial Field.



Philadelphia currently sits as the No. 3 seed in the NFC with an 11–5 record, trailing the Chicago Bears. A loss by the NFC North team to the Detroit Lions, combined with an Eagles win over Washington, could move Nick Sirianni’s squad up to the No. 2 seed.



However, a loss to Washington would not drastically change Philadelphia’s position. The Eagles would not fall below the No. 3 seed even with a defeat, which is why Sirianni is expected to rest his starters and prioritize entering the Wild Card round well rested.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfc-east-standings-and-playoff-picture-updated-after-eagles-commanders-in-2025-nfl-week-16"></div>


<h2>Saquon Barkley may prefer not to be benched</h2>



While Nick Sirianni has the final say, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/saquon-barkley" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Saquon Barkley</a> may attempt to convince his head coach to let him play in Week 18. The reason is simple: the star running back is chasing a significant performance bonus.



Barkley needs 87 scrimmage yards against the Commanders to earn an additional $250,000 on his 2026 contract. He has surpassed that mark eight times this season, including a 132-yard performance from scrimmage against Washington earlier this year—his second-best outing of the season.

It’s clear that three straight losses at this point in the season are far from ideal for any franchise, especially the Philadelphia Eagles, who still hope to repeat as Super Bowl champions. There’s been a lot of talk about <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jalen-hurts">Jalen Hurts</a>’ recent performances, but will Nick Sirianni ultimately decide to bench him to shake things up in the starting lineup?



For now, judging by his recent comments, the idea of replacing his starting QB for the next game isn’t in the coach’s plans. In fact, he emphatically stated that it would be ridiculous to bench Hurts over a dip in performance.



“I think that’s ridiculous. . . . I know every time I go out in that field with Jalen Hurts as our quarterback, we have a chance to win the game,” <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nick-sirianni">Sirianni</a> said via nbcsports.com. “That’s something that’s been proven. We’ve won a lot, a lot of football games.”



Jalen Hurts has been a cornerstone of this team in recent years, even earning MVP honors in the latest SB earlier this year. For now, Sirianni trusts that his star player can regain the level of performance that once carried the team to the pinnacle of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> glory.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251210_BUS_543048_jalen-hurts-4_0cc77fe4.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Jalen Hurts Philadelphia Eagles" class="wp-image-543123"></figure><figcaption>Jalen Hurts #1 of the Philadelphia Eagles.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>A worthy season for Hurts</h2>



Despite a recent dip in performance over the last few games, Jalen Hurts is still compiling a productive season overall. He has thrown for 2,754 yards and registered 19 touchdowns against just 6 interceptions. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/jalen-hurts-key-teammate-got-hit-with-news-that-could-sideline-him-from-future-eagles-games"></div>


His strong play is further reflected by a solid 51.9 Quarterback Rating, underscoring his value to the offense throughout the campaign. The support from his coach in a way compels the QB to raise the bar once again and get back on the path to victory immediately.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251210_BUS_543048_jalen-hurts-5_087df440.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Hurts Eagles QB" class="wp-image-492096" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure><figcaption>Jalen Hurts #1 of the Philadelphia Eagles.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Do the Eagles still have a shot at the playoffs?</h2>



Despite recent losses, the Eagles still have a strong chance of making the postseason. According to the <a href="https://www.nfl.com/standings/playoff-picture">NFL’s official site</a>, their playoff odds stand at 92% heading into Week 15, and a win over the Raiders could boost that number to 95%.



They currently sit atop the NFC East with eight wins and five losses. The Cowboys, their closest pursuer, hold a 6-6-1 record and remain on the lookout for what might happen in these final weeks.

Nick Sirianni reveals if Eagles will consider benching Jalen Hurts amid losing streak - Bolavip US

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-eagles" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Philadelphia Eagles</a> are not precisely having the best of days right now. Still, the bad news keep coming. According to the latest reports, one of Jalen Hurts‘ teammates might be out for the upcoming games.



According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter had a procedure to repair both shoulders. With that, Carter is considered week-to-week, making him likely to miss the Monday Night Football Game against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-chargers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chargers</a>, and possibly more games.



After Black Friday, many reporters stated that Carter wasn’t playing to his usual level, which is very high. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jalen-carter" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Carter</a>, postgame, spoke with EJ Smith of PHLY Sports, and said, “That’s my problem&nbsp;to deal with. I’m not finna tell everybody what I’m going through.”



<h2>Carter’s season is stellar</h2>



While still an elite talent, this year hasn’t been incredibly great for Carter. It all started in Week 1, where he didn’t even play one snap because he got ejected by spitting on <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dak-prescott" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dak Prescott</a>‘s face. After that, he has been his best. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1980" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251204_BUS_539344_jalen-carter-1_3df99b0c.webp&amp;width=1980&amp;height=1080" alt="Jalen Carter #98 of the Philadelphia Eagles" class="wp-image-321255" sizes="(max-width: 1980px) 100vw, 1980px"></figure><figcaption>Jalen Carter #98 of the Philadelphia Eagles</figcaption></figure>



In 2025, Carter has racked up 32 total tackles, four tackles for loss, 11 QB hits and 2.0 sacks in 10 games played. Carter’s numbers are on par with his usual output, but the fact is Carter is one of the best defensive tackles in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/eagles-fans-receive-harsh-message-from-oc-kevin-patullo-after-strong-criticism-against-him"></div>


<h2>The defense is what might put the Eagles as a contender</h2>



The team has lost two in a row, but it’s not on the defense. In fact, the Eagles have allowed more than 26 points just once this year. The problem is entirely on the offense.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jalen-hurts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jalen Hurts</a> and company are not living up to their talents. Since the Eagles’ bye week, the team hasn’t scored more than 21 points. If the Eagles don’t fix the offense, it doesn’t matter how good the defense is, they won’t be able to go back to back.

It’s no secret that the Philadelphia Eagles have massively struggled offensively this <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season. Jalen Hurts and company are talented, but something is not clicking. After another underwhelming performance, questions arised but head coach Nick Sirianni is having none of it.



Speaking to Tim McManus of ESPN.com, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nick-sirianni" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sirianni</a> responded “We’re not changing the playcaller, but we will evaluate everything. It’s never just about one person. You win as a team, you lose as a team and you try to evaluate everything, win, lose or draw, and get better from it.” Offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo hasn’t been able to have a consistent unit all year long, but Sirianni is not ready to pull the plug.



For instance, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/detroit-lions" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Detroit Lions</a> made that decision earlier in the season. OC John Morton wasn’t having great success in an uber-talented offense, and head coach Dan Campbell took the playcalling duties off of him.



<h2>Patullo’s credibility is taking a big hit</h2>



If you aren’t able to get a poor offense going, chances are you won’t be blamed. But the Eagles are another story. This is an offense that has worked before, won a Super Bowl making points at will. Since Patullo took the offense, it’s dimmed heavily.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251129_BUS_536153_Kevin-Patullo_da5a66ef.webp&amp;width=650&amp;height=365" alt="Kevin Patullo" class="wp-image-483810" width="650" height="365" sizes="(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px"></figure><figcaption>Kevin Patullo, the OC of the Eagles</figcaption></figure>



Patullo has worked with Sirianni since their time at the Colts. Sirianni was the OC while Patullo served as the Wide Receivers coach and pass game specialist. When Sirianni was appointed as the Eagles’ HC, Patullo became the pass game coordinator and after Kellen Moore left, he was promoted to OC. However, he hasn’t made <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jalen-hurts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jalen Hurts</a> or any of the offensive players look their best.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/jalen-hurts-makes-major-admission-after-eagles-tough-loss-vs-bears"></div>


<h2>Is Nick Sirianni coordinator-dependent?</h2>



The narrative floating around Sirianni’s name is that he depends heavily on his coordinators. For instance, there are head coaches that call plays offensively or defensively. Others don’t call plays, but can change coordinators without the team missing a step, that hasn’t been the case with Sirianni.



Siriani’s success has been with Shane Steichen and Kellen Moore as offensive coordinators. Both are so good, that they are NFL head coaches now. With Patullo and Brian Johnson, the team looked bad offensively and Sirianni couldn’t right the wrongs. Sticking with Patullo as playcaller might also be an indictment on Sirianni as a head coach.
