The moment Philadelphia Eagles fans and NFL media heard head coach Nick Sirianni was promoting Kevin Patullo to offensive coordinator in the offseason, the alarm bells rang with fear that he would be the next Brian Johnson. Those alarm bells were replaced with pure silence after Patullo's impressive debut as the play caller.
Patullo helped the Eagles take down the Cincinnati Bengals 34-27 in the first preseason game of the season for the team. The Eagles finished with 432 yards of offense, with 300 through the air and 132 on the ground. They held on to the ball for nearly 33 minutes to the Bengals' 27 minutes.
