Eagles at 2-7: Sirianni considers staff shakeup after 7-game losing streak
Philadelphia's offense ranks 30th in the NFL, prompting the coach to evaluate his coaching staff during the upcoming week off.

Nick Sirianni did not rule out making changes to his coaching staff during the Eagles' bye week. The team is searching for answers after suffering a seventh consecutive defeat. The loss came Sunday against the New York Giants, with the final score at 19-11.
Sirianni said he would review the tape and examine the internal dynamics of the locker room. He stated that he would look at himself first before making any decisions. The coach emphasized that changes should be based on real issues rather than just the record.
The Eagles' offensive struggles are the primary driver of the losing streak. The unit finished Sunday's game ranked 30th in the NFL in points per game at 16.4. They also ranked 30th in expected points added at minus-47.28 and 30th in first downs per game at 15.8. Their offensive efficiency rating of 31.53 placed them 28th in the league.
Sean Mannion, a 34-year-old first-time playcaller, has struggled to find a rhythm. The offense has operated without key starters, including quarterback Jalen Hurts, right tackle Lane Johnson, and wide receiver DeVonta Smith. The team has also shown particular weakness in the second half of games, an issue linked to slow adjustments.
Sirianni took collective responsibility for the offensive output. He noted that the coaching staff, not just Mannion, had failed to execute properly. The Eagles switched to Joe Milton at quarterback to generate momentum, but his lack of experience with the system showed during the contest.
Philadelphia now trails the 5-2-1 Giants in the NFC East division. With Tuesday's trade deadline approaching, the team may move players to adjust its roster. Tight end Dallas Goedert, cornerback Riq Woolen, and defensive tackle Moro Ojomo are on expiring contracts and likely to attract interest.
Goedert said he had a positive conversation with general manager Howie Roseman two weeks ago. He stated that players are available for the right price and that he is not overly concerned about his future status.
