Highest priority fix for every NFC team in 2026

Scheme to strengths on ofense

Despite an 11-6 record and a division title, it felt as though the Eagles spent much of the 2025 season mired in offensive uncertainty. So, it did not come as a surprise when first-year OC Kevin Patullo was replaced in January (by Packers QB coach Sean Mannion). Patullo’s offense included the sixth-lowest under center rate (21.9%), the second-highest spread rate (28.4%), the fourth-lowest rate of pre-snap motion (52.2%) and the ninth-lowest rate of play action (14.0%), per NFL Pro. And while Mannion is a first-time OC himself, he was a player under Sean McVay in Los Angeles and a coach under Matt LaFleur last year — both of whom historically feature under center, condensed, motion-filled, play-action-heavy schemes. As long as Jalen Hurts can adjust to that kind of system, it could better suit his skill set and possibly trigger a bounce-back for the Eagles offense at large.
