Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo said a “line has been crossed” in his first public comments since his New Jersey home was vandalized with eggs.

Patullo, 44, said the incident crossed a line beyond football and into his personal life.

“At the end of the day, you want to be able to separate your work from your family,” Patullo said Wednesday.

“We’ve talked about it before, I’ve said it before, that line was crossed. It was an unfortunate incident and that’s part of why it happened. As a family, we know we have to stay together. To be honest, there are a lot of great people in the community. I have great neighbors. So many people have reached out to my wife and I and our family, and so it’s not anything in particular or one person in particular. It happened and we need to move on from this. stadium.”

Patullo’s house was energized after the Eagles’ 24-15 loss to the Chicago Bears on Black Friday. The Eagles are 8-4 and atop the NFC East, but the offense has taken a step back from last season and Patullo has become a source of consternation among Philadelphia fans.

In 2024, with Kellen Moore as offensive coordinator, the Eagles were fifth in the league in points per game with 29.4. After winning the Super Bowl, Moore left to take the head coaching job with the New Orleans Saints, and the Eagles promoted Patullo to offensive coordinator.

The Eagles fell to 19th in the NFL in points per game in Patullo’s first season, averaging 22.5 points per game, one touchdown fewer than last year.

Patullo said dissatisfaction with job performance should never carry over into a coach or athlete’s personal life.

“As coaches and players, we all know that part of our job is to deal with criticism,” Patullo said. “It’s completely OK to sit here and talk about what’s going on, how to fix it, what we’re going to do going forward, and we know that. But when it involves your family, it obviously crosses the line. It’s happened, and at this point we just have to move on.”

Patullo and the Eagles will look to bounce back from their loss to the Bears when they take on the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday at 8:15 p.m. ET.
