The Philadelphia Eagles gave defensive play-calling duties to senior assistant Matt Patricia over defensive coordinator Sean Desai in their 20-17 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Monday night. Head coach Nick Sirianni said after the game that Patricia now has final say over the defense. Players were notified of the change early last week and Patricia ran the defensive meetings leading up to Monday's game. Their defense held Seattle to 90 yards and three points in the first half but fell apart with the game on the line late in the fourth quarter. "I think we played well today as a whole. Individually, I didn't play well ... I definitely let down the defense today," cornerback James Bradberry said when asked whether he thought the coaching change from Desai to Patricia had worked. Philly's D will have a good matchup in Week 16 against the New York Giants to build more momentum.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerRead More News
