The Philadelphia Eagles are struggling to move the ball and score points, prompting questions about the stability of their offensive leadership. Coach Nick Sirianni confirmed on Monday that he is keeping his current offensive coordinator and quarterback, rejecting calls for immediate change.

The 2024 Super Bowl champions currently rank 30th in the NFL, averaging 17.1 points per game. The team holds a 2-6 record and sits at the bottom of the NFC East standings. In Sunday night's 27-10 loss to the Washington Commanders, the Eagles scored their first 10 points early but went without a score for the final three quarters. Their average production dropped to 3.9 yards per play.

Offensive coordinator Sean Mannion, 34, took over play-calling duties with limited prior experience. He played in the NFL as recently as 2023 and had only two previous years in coaching before his promotion. Sirianni stated that the responsibility for fixing the offense falls on the coaching staff, including himself and Mannion. He noted that the team is in the problem-solving business and must find answers to help the unit get going.

Quarterback Tanner McKee serves as the starting signal caller following an injury to Jalen Hurts. Hurts last played against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London on October 11 due to blood clots. McKee, 26, has started the last three games. He has completed 63.2% of his passes for 638 yards, throwing two touchdowns and two interceptions. The offense has generated 45 total points in those three starts.

Sirianni described McKee as the team's guy and indicated that the coaching staff is evaluating schemes and practice methods to improve performance. Joe Milton, who served as a backup in Dallas in 2025, currently remains the backup quarterback for McKee.
