PHILADELPHIA \u2014 Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo will continue calling plays and that he hasn\u2019t considered a change.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, I haven\u2019t,\u201d Sirianni said Monday. \u201cAs coaches, we\u2019re always looking for answers and we\u2019re never into assigning blame. It\u2019s just looking for answers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think what sometimes can happen is it\u2019s like, \u2018It\u2019s just this.\u2019 Well, it\u2019s not just that. It\u2019s every piece of the puzzle: coaching, playing, execution, scheme, everything. We\u2019ve got to be better in all of those aspects.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought Kevin did a good job of calling it (Sunday). Obviously, he\u2019s going to want plays back just like every player and myself, we all want plays back. When you\u2019re going through it like that, that\u2019s what you\u2019re always looking at. It\u2019s never in football just one thing, even though you\u2019re always trying to find answers. So, no, I haven\u2019t considered that.\u201d<\/p>\n

After building an early 21-point lead against the Cowboys Sunday, the Eagles didn\u2019t score the rest of the game. On their final eight possessions, they punted five times, missed a field goal, committed a turnover and let the clock run out at the end of the first half.<\/p>\n

Dallas scored 24 unanswered points en route to a 24-21 upset. The loss was another subpar chapter for an Eagles offense that has stagnated all season. There was a perception the Birds took their foot off the gas, but the head coach pushed back on that notion.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo go up 21-0 \u2026 you\u2019re trying to do everything you can to go up 28-0, you\u2019re trying to do everything you can do to go up 35-0. I felt like we were aggressive all game. Obviously, the execution and everything. The execution and the play calling were better in the first half than it was the rest of the time, the schemes and everything.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you look at it, I think that we were still being aggressive to try to get as many points on the board as possible, especially playing against that team that we were playing. Really, you don\u2019t start to think about taking your foot off the gas until you get into four-minute football.\u201d<\/p>\n

Quarterback Jalen Hurts shared what has become a common refrain this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cOverarching, we\u2019ve got to find a way to finish the game, and we\u2019ve got to find some consistency in what we do,\u201d Hurts said. \u201cYou know, definitely a tale of two halves, but in the end, we didn\u2019t play a complete game as a team, and it got us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, as the Eagles prepare to host the Chicago Bears on Friday, they\u2019ll be without rookie safety Andrew Mukuba, who suffered a fractured ankle against the Cowboys and will require surgery. There isn\u2019t a timetable for his return until after the procedure, but it is possible he could miss the rest of the season.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019ll be out for some time and we\u2019ll see,\u201d Sirianni said. \u201cI\u2019ll never put a timetable on a guy. We\u2019ll see how long, but he will miss a little bit of time here. I think we have good options there. Mike (S\/CB Michael Carter II) will be in one of them. (S) Sydney (Brown, (S) Reed (Blankenship) is still manning everything back there. We\u2019ve got some guys that we have confidence in on the practice squad as well. This is why you need your entire roster. It\u2019s never just the 53 guys; it\u2019s the 70 guys. You never know when those guys\u2019 opportunities will come, and here we are.\u201d<\/p>\n

The status of cornerback Adoree\u2019 Jackson (concussion) is unclear, but Blankenship (thigh) is expected to play Friday.<\/p>\n
