Nick Sirianni Says No Changes at Offensive Coordinator or QB Despite Eagles' Six-Game Skid
Sean Mannion keeps play-calling duties and Tanner McKee stays the starter after Sunday night's 27-10 loss in Washington
The Eagles aren't shaking up the staff or the quarterback room, at least not yet. Nick Sirianni said Monday he's keeping Sean Mannion as offensive coordinator and Tanner McKee as his starting quarterback after Philadelphia's sixth straight loss, The Athletic's Zach Berman reported.
"Tanner's our guy. We're not making any changes there," Sirianni said of McKee. He also backed offensive line coach Chris Kuper, saying Kuper is "coaching his ass off" and giving players "good tools to use."

Zach Berman (@ZBerm): Nick Sirianni said he's not making any staff changes. "We're in the problem-solving business, and right now we have to find answers to help us get going offensively," Sirianni said.
Sirianni insisted the Eagles aren't standing still, though. He said the team has made changes behind the scenes over the past few weeks. "To keep doing the same thing over and over again and expect a different result is crazy," he said. Asked what those changes were, he said, "Won't get into any of that."
The pressure isn't going away. Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Commanders dropped Philadelphia to 2-6. The Eagles led 10-0 in the first quarter and didn't score again, and since a 2-0 start they've averaged 14.8 points per game while allowing 26.7. They haven't topped 21 points in any of the six losses, and it's their longest skid since 2012, Andy Reid's last season in Philadelphia.
Injuries are part of it. Jalen Hurts is expected to miss the rest of the season after blood clots were found in his lungs, and DeVonta Smith has been out too. That leaves McKee and Mannion's offense to find answers, and Sirianni, who won a Super Bowl two seasons ago, to show the problem is fixable.
