Eagles Promote Kevin Patullo to OC After Kellen Moore's Exit for Saints HC Job

NFC Divisional Playoffs: Los Angeles Rams v Philadelphia Eagles

After offensive coordinator Kellen Moore departed to accept a head coaching position with the New Orleans Saints, the Philadelphia Eagles have found an in-house replacement.

The Eagles announced Wednesday that they are promoting passing game coordinator Kevin Patullo to OC following Moore's exit.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero added that Philadelphia is expected to hire Parks Frazier to replace Patullo as pass game coordinator. Frazier is a longtime assistant in the NFL and spent time on coaching staffs with the Indianapolis Colts, Carolina Panthers and Miami Dolphins.

Patullo has been a member of the staff under Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni since 2021, and he added the title of associate head coach in 2023.

Prior to defeating the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX, Sirianni sang Patullo's praises, describing him as "very important to the success that we've had" and stressing the need for continuity when Moore's departure appeared to be imminent.

"I lean on him a lot," Sirianni said of Patullo. "That continuity is really important because he knows what I'm thinking in certain situations, how you want things to be taught, all of those different things, so he's been a great resource for me the entire time, our success this year, but really the success we've had since we've been here. Can't be great without the greatness of others and that is definitely a fact with Kevin Patullo and I trust him with everything. Got a ton of trust and faith with him. He's awesome."

The decision to promote from within the organization should be received positively by Eagles players. Philadelphia's quick moves to shore up Sirianni's staff after Moore's departure could put the team in a position to compete for a second straight Super Bowl title.

Eagles' Cooper DeJean Didn't Realize Significance of Mahomes Pick-6 in Super Bowl

NFL: FEB 09 Super Bowl LIX - Eagles vs Chiefs

Philadelphia Eagles defensive back Cooper DeJean's pick-six of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes stands as the most pivotal play en route to the Birds' 40-22 win in Super Bowl LIX.

In a recent interview on The Pivot Podcast, DeJean recalled his emotions at the moment, noting he didn't really understand how big the moment was as it happened.

"I was trying to catch my breath," DeJean said. "I had all this excitement and adrenaline. It's already the Super Bowl, so you've already got all that energy built up. I was trying to catch my breath. I don't know if I really realized how big of a moment it was at that time."

Ad Placeholder

It's certainly understandable for the 22-year-old rookie, who was Pro Football Focus' highest-graded cornerback on the season, to feel that way. He made the Super Bowl in his first season, and this game had added significance with the Chiefs going for the first-ever Super Bowl three-peat in NFL history. Plus, Philadelphia was looking for revenge after falling to Kansas City two years earlier in the Super Bowl

There was certainly a lot to take in for any player, let alone a rookie. But DeJean was tremendous.

Kansas City got off to a sluggish start but found itself hanging around down 10-0 midway through the second quarter. DeJean took advantage of an errant Mahomes pass, though, snagging it at the Chiefs' 38-yard line and returning it for a touchdown to give his team a 16-0 lead.

Philadelphia led 34-0 before some garbage-time touchdowns made the game closer, but DeJean's play stands as the key turning point in the game.

Rob McElhenney Offers to Pay Jalyx Hunt's Super Bowl Celebration Fine After Eagles Win

Super Bowl LIX: Kansas City Chiefs v Philadelphia Eagles

Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Jalyx Hunt received a generous offer to pay a fine he incurred during the team's Super Bowl LIX victory.

Actor Rob McElhenney, a Philadelphia native who stars in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, reached out on social media to cover the cost of Hunt's fine for celebrating a sack in the second quarter of the Eagles' 40-22 win over the Kansas City Chiefs.

"I’ll pay this fine," McElhenney wrote. "Worth every penny."

Hunt received an unsportsmanlike conduct fine of $5,690 from the NFL for a bow-and-arrow celebration after helping bring down Patrick Mahomes.

The 23-year-old finished with two tackles and 0.5 sacks against Kansas City.

Hunt responded to the support from McElhenney and other Eagles fans in his own social media post. He made a deal to pay the fine himself while redirecting the money sent from others to a cause organized by Barbers Who Care, which helps Boys' Latin of Philadelphia High School students go on college tours.

McElhenney obliged, paying the exact fine amount to the group.

Ad Placeholder

Hunt, a third-round pick in the 2024 NFL draft, is coming off a rookie season in which he shined on special teams and gradually carved out a role in Philadelphia's defense as the year progressed.

In 16 regular-season appearances, he racked up 21 tackles, three quarterback hits, two forced fumbles and 1.5 sacks.

Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley Pre-Game Super Bowl Speeches to Eagles Revealed in Video

Kansas City Chiefs v Philadelphia Eagles, Super Bowl LIX

The Philadelphia Eagles were confident ahead of their Super Bowl thrashing of the Kansas City Chiefs, and Saquon Barkley reflected that in his remarks to the team on the day before the 40-22 victory.

"As I watched film throughout the whole week, my confidence has grown even more, and I hope you guys are feeling the same thing," Barkley said in a new video shared by the Eagles (4:18 mark). "These guys can't f--k with us."

Quarterback Jalen Hurts, meanwhile, had revenge and redemption on his mind after losing in the Super Bowl against the Chiefs two seasons ago.

Ad Placeholder

"The last time being here, that s--t changed my life. It changed my life and it changed my mentality, it changed everything. For so long, I was thinking, 'What would I do when I got this moment again? What would I do when this opportunity met me again? On the biggest stage, everbody watching.' And I didn't get benched, I put on a good show. And I couldn't have done that without you guys. But I left that motherf--ker so empty. Don't s--t else matter but winning."

Ad Placeholder

Offensive tackle Lane Johnson expressed both confidence and a desire for revenge in his remarks.

"They're a finesse team... man for man, they're not just going to let us just tee off on them, because they will get f--ked up," he said. "And they're gonna get f--ked up tomorrow. Just remember them f--king shirts ['0 sacks'] they had on at their parade a few years ago. Keep that in mind as y'all keep annihilating his ass tomorrow."

But it was safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson with the best quote of them all.

Ad Placeholder

"We ain't got to say s--t if we win it," he said. "Because our story is gonna tell itself."

So it will. That story is about a loaded Eagles team that took its revenge on Kansas City, dominating with an incredible pass rush, timely turnovers and a fantastic performance from Hurts. The Eagles romped through the NFC Championship Game and Super Bowl, beating the Washington Commanders and Chiefs by a remarkable 95-45 margin.

And two of those Chiefs' touchdowns came in garbage time, with the backups inserted into the game. The final score was not an indication of how utterly one-sided the game was through 3.5 quarters, or just how badly they flummoxed the normally unflappable Mahomes.

The Eagles believed they could dominate. They wanted to dominate after coming up just short two years ago. And so dominate they did.

Eagles' Saquon Barkley: 'Couldn’t Imagine Playing Anywhere Else' After Super Bowl Win

Super Bowl LIX - Kansas City Chiefs v Philadelphia Eagles

In his first year as a Philadelphia Eagle, running back Saquon Barkley won a Super Bowl and set the NFL's all-time record for most rushing yards in a single season (including playoffs) with 2,504.

Naturally, the ex-New York Giant is enjoying his time in town, and now he can't see himself anywhere else.

"When you’re at one place and you think that’s where you wanna be and retire there, and then life happens. And I came here. Now I couldn’t imagine playing anywhere else," Barkley told Fox29 (h/t PennLive.com's Nick Farabaugh).

Barkley spent his first six years with the Giants before signing a three-season, $37.75 million contract with the Eagles. That deal has paid off for Philadelphia and the 28-year-old Barkley, a former Penn State star who went second overall in the 2018 NFL draft.

Ad Placeholder

Barkley had an up-and-down tenure in New York, partly because of a struggling offensive line and a largely downtrodden team around him. He also missed nearly all of 2020 with a torn ACL suffered in Week 2.

But this year, he showcased the sky-high potential the Giants saw in him in 2018 en route to helping lead Philadelphia to its second-ever Super Bowl.

It's easy to see why he wants to spend the rest of his career in Philadelphia. For now, he can enjoy this Super Bowl win before working toward an encore in 2025.

Report: Adoree' Jackson, Eagles Agree to Contract in Free Agency After Giants Stint

Baltimore Ravens v New York Giants

Free agent cornerback Adoree' Jackson has agreed to a contract with the Philadelphia Eagles, per Fox Sports' Jordan Schultz.

Last season, the 29-year-old Jackson played 14 games for the New York Giants, starting five. He amassed 28 tackles (18 solo), five pass breakups and a forced fumble.

Per Pro Football Reference, opposing quarterbacks completed 20-of-41 passes in his direction for 287 yards and two touchdowns (88.2 quarterback rating).

Jackson has played eight NFL seasons—four with the Tennessee Titans and four on the Giants. He joined Tennessee as the No. 17 overall pick in the 2017 NFL draft after arriving from USC.

Ad Placeholder

Jackson enjoyed a solid rookie season with a career-high 17 pass breakups and three forced fumbles alongside 70 tackles.

Unfortunately, injuries befell Jackson at various points during his Titans tenure, including in 2020, when he missed the first 13 games of the season with a knee injury.

The 28-year-old later landed with Big Blue before the 2021 season on a three-year, $39 million contract.

Jackson served as the Giants' No. 1 cornerback for part of his tenure.

Ad Placeholder

In 2021, Jackson only allowed 9.3 yards per completion. In 2022, Jackson allowed just 51.7 percent of passes thrown his way to be completed.

Then 2023 was a tough season for Jackson, who allowed 65.9 percent of completed passes in his direction (second-worst in his career), a 95.5 passer rating (career-worst) and 13.0 yards per completion (career-worst), per Pro Football Reference.

After the 2023 season, Jackson was a free agent, but he re-signed with the G-Men on a one-year deal on Sept. 1, 2024.

He certainly fared better last year, and now he's parlayed his season into a new deal with Philadelphia, which needed more help at cornerback after parting ways Darius Slay Jr., who signed a one-year, $10 million deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, Most Viral Moments from Eagles' 2025 Super Bowl Parade

Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl Championship Parade

The city of Philadelphia got its chance on Friday to celebrate the Eagles' Super Bowl LIX victory.

Jalen Hurts started out Sunday's player speeches by thanking his offensive line, his defense and "Shay Shawn Barkley" for their efforts in Sunday's 40-22 Super Bowl triumph over the Kansas City Chiefs.

"I told myself that when I got drafted, that I wouldn't come to the Rocky steps until I won a championship," Hurts said. "And now we're here."

He finished to MVP chants: "The next pursuit begins. Go Birds."

AJ Brown told the crowd: "They said I was a diva. They said all I cared about was stats. You gonna get all those things wrong about me, but one thing you're gonna get right: I'm a f--king champion."

Ad Placeholder

Saquon Barkley said: "One thing that I've learned from being here for a short period of time is that you guys are tough, you guys are resilient, and you guys know how to f--king fight."

Landon Johnson told the gathered Eagles fans: "I don't even got words to describe how happy I am right now. After '22, feeling that loss, I ain't ever want to feel that s--t again."

Jordan Mailata led Eagles fans in a rendition of "We Are the Champions," while CJ Gardner-Johnson led a "BTA" chant before Brandon Graham finished off the player speeches.

"I'm so happy that y'all didn't have to go through a nailbiter game," Graham said. "You know, we went BTA, like CJ said."

Before the speeches on the Philadelphia Museum of Art steps, an anticipated crowd of one million fans took to the streets to watch their team parade through the city.

Barkley was impressed by the turnout in the first Super Bowl parade of his career.

"Every time I think Philly can't take it to another level, they take it to a whole another level," Barkley said during the parade (h/t Fox 29 Philadelphia.) "Me and the family, just happy and honored to be part of this organization, to be a part of this city.

"This city just deserves it all, and here we are."

Barkley also spotted an Eagles' ball boy watching along the route and pulled him into the parade, per Sam Stafford Wilson:

Cooper DeJean, who celebrated his 22nd birthday with a Super Bowl pick-six, told Fox 29 Philadelphia the parade "might be the best day" of his life.

Reed Blankenship meanwhile found himself mistaken for DeJean along the route:

Jake Elliott, who made four of four field goal attempts in the field goal, went for a fifth with a beer can.

Brown and Nick Sirianni meanwhile showed off their receiving skills:

General manager Howie Roseman was hit in the head by a beer can on the route, but he apparently didn't let the injury phase him:

Retired Eagles center Jason Kelce also showed up to join his former team for the parade.

Even the Philadelphia police got in on the celebration by performing a tush push in front of the parade crowd:

The Eagles medical staff also got in on the fun:

After a heartbreaking Super Bowl LVII loss to the Chiefs two years ago, the Eagles now officially have their championship redemption.

Video: Eagles' Isaiah Rodgers Celebrates Super Bowl 59 Title by Getting Leg Tattoo

NFL: FEB 09 Super Bowl LIX - Eagles vs Chiefs

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Isaiah Rodgers won't have to look far whenever he wants to be reminded of his team's Super Bowl triumph.

Rodgers took to social media Wednesday and showed off the tattoo he got commemorating the team's 40-22 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs:

Philadelphia signed Rodgers ahead of the 2023 season after the Indianapolis Colts released him when he was suspended indefinitely by the NFL for gambling policy violations. He did not play during the 2023 campaign but appeared in 15 games this past season for the NFC East club.

He was a secondary contributor with 26 tackles, four passes defended and one forced fumble, although he broke up two passes in the NFC Divisional Round win over the Los Angeles Rams and another one in the Super Bowl.

Ad Placeholder

It was part of a dominant defensive effort from the Eagles against the Chiefs.

Kansas City had just six points until it scored two touchdowns in the final three minutes of the game in garbage time. Patrick Mahomes threw two interceptions and was sacked six times and looked nothing like the all-time great who is usually so dominant on that stage.

As for Rodgers, he is scheduled for free agency this offseason and may not return to the Eagles.

Even if he doesn't, he will have quite the memory of his time with the team.

Super Bowl LIX: Kansas City Chiefs v Philadelphia Eagles

The collectibles company that previously sold snow from the Philadelphia Eagles' NFC Divisional Round win has leveled up.

The Realest is now selling confetti in beer can-style containers from the Eagles' 40-22 Super Bowl victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in New Orleans for $59.99 apiece.

Obviously, one can surmise that the price might have a little something to do with the numeric Super Bowl played last Sunday.

"Confetti collected from the field as the Philadelphia Eagles celebrated their second championship victory, enclosed in a clear, beer can-style container designed to recreate the trophy celebration with every shake," a description of the item read.

The Realest showcased itself collecting Eagles-colored confetti after the game ended.

"TRuEST™ authenticators were on-site to witness the moment, carefully collecting and certifying each piece to ensure its authenticity as a genuine artifact from the championship field," its site notes.

The Realest also sold confetti cans from the Eagles' 55-23 NFC Championship win over the Washington Commanders at $49.99 apiece. NFC Divisional Round field snow, sold in containers with dry ice for $50 apiece, has since sold out after the Eagles held on to beat the Los Angeles Rams, 28-22.

Ad Placeholder

The Eagles thoroughly crushed the Chiefs last Sunday, leading 34-0 before the 40-22 win. Quarterback Jalen Hurts won the Super Bowl MVP with three touchdowns (two passing, one rushing), while the defense sacked Patrick Mahomes three times and intercepted him twice, including a Cooper DeJean pick-six.

A.J. Brown is sharing the love after the Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl on Sunday.

The superstar wide receiver visited Andre Howard, a 10-year-old who survived the aftermath of a plane crashing in Northeast Philadelphia but required surgery for his injuries. Brown had the Lombardi Trophy in tow during his visit:

According to Joe Brandt of CBS News, "Howard was one of 24 people on the ground injured after a medical jet crashed near Roosevelt Boulevard and Cottman Avenue on Jan. 31. The crash killed all six passengers aboard, including the crew, a children's hospital patient and her mother."

Howard suffered his injuries while covering his sister to protect her from the flying debris that resulted in the crash.
