It's another week of Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni standing in front of the podium defending the performance of his offensive coordinator, Kevin Patullo.
This time, though, it's in the playoffs with everyone on the line as the Eagles take on the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Wild Card. Sirianni has spent the whole season backing Patullo every step of the way, and that continued with his response on how his offensive coordinator has handled the job and the pressure of the criticism from the media and fans.
"I thought he is done a nice job of handling everything that's come his way, staying mentally sharp and staying mentally tough because I know there's always going to be criticism and you're probably not -- as offense coordinator, you might not get as much praise, but you're always going to get some criticism," Sirianni said via The Athletic's Zach Berman.
