Furious Philadelphia Eagles supporters have vandalised the $1.3 million New Jersey mansion of the team's offensive coordinator, Kevin Patullo, in an alarming act of protest following a disappointing loss.
Eggs Hurled at Coach's Family Home
Shocking footage that surfaced online shows at least three young men launching eggs at the luxurious property from the roadside in the early hours of Saturday morning. The incident occurred in Moorestown, New Jersey, just hours after the Eagles suffered a defeat to the Chicago Bears on Black Friday.
Initial reports incorrectly suggested rocks had been thrown, but the Moorestown Police Department later confirmed the projectiles were eggs. An investigation is actively ongoing to identify the culprits. While it was unclear if Patullo or his family were home during the attack, the Daily Mail has verified that the stunning four-bedroom house is indeed his and has been the family's residence for the past five years.
Mounting Pressure on High-Paid Offence
The 44-year-old coach has faced intense scrutiny this season as the Eagles' offence, despite boasting an 8-4 record, has significantly underperformed. This unit is the highest-paid in the entire NFL, led by quarterback Jalen Hurts, yet ranks dismally low across key metrics: 24th in total yards, 23rd in passing, 22nd in rushing, and 19th in scoring.
Patullo was promoted to the offensive coordinator role in the offseason, taking over from Kellen Moore, who left to become head coach of the New Orleans Saints. The promotion followed the team's Super Bowl victory, but fan frustration has been simmering and appears to have reached a boiling point after the recent loss to a rival team.
Sirianni Backs Patullo Amid Fallout
Despite the public outcry and the shocking vandalism, head coach Nick Sirianni stated on Monday that Patullo will retain his playcalling duties following a weekend of evaluation. "Everything was being evaluated," Sirianni said. "We'll think about some things that we want to do all over the place, scheme, everything... Just know this: We want to get this thing fixed more than anybody."
The Eagles, who still cling to the top of the NFC East, now face the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday Night Football, hoping to halt a two-game losing streak. The incident at Patullo's home, however, casts a stark shadow over the intense pressures and sometimes toxic fan culture surrounding high-stakes professional sport.
