Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Kavin Patullo’s New Jersey home was vandalized with eggs after a recent loss, and former NFL defensive tackle Spice Adams wants to remind fans that it’s just a game.
Adams, 45, played college football at Penn State and said he understands Pennsylvania fans, but stressed that they need to relax.
“That’s crazy. My reaction is that’s just wild, man. I know the fans are, you know, passionate about their team, but gee, man. Come on, man. That’s crazy to do that. Going over someone’s house? Going over someone’s house? Wow, man. That’s a game, man,” Adams told News Digital in a recent interview while talking about Red Baron’s fantasy football punishment.

“This is a kid’s game. They gotta relax. I’ve played at Penn State, so I understand Pennsylvania fans, but they gotta relax. They gotta relax, man.”
Adams said he had never heard of anything like that happening while playing. The former defensive tackle played in the NFL for nine seasons, from 2003 to 2011.
He added that not even Santa Claus is guaranteed a warm reception in Philadelphia, where fans infamously booed him.

The Eagles lost to the Los Angeles Chargers 22-19 in overtime on Monday night to fall to 8-5. It was their third straight loss and once again the offense, with Patullo as offensive coordinator, struggled.
Jalen Hurts had five turnovers in the loss, and Eagles fans’ angst about the offense has increased after winning a Super Bowl last season.
In 2024, with Kellen Moore as offensive coordinator, the Eagles were fifth in the league in points per game with 29.4. After winning the Super Bowl, Moore left to take over as head coach of the New Orleans Saints and the Eagles promoted Patullo to offensive coordinator.

The Eagles fell to 19th in the NFL in points per game in Patullo’s first season, averaging 22.2 points per game, one touchdown less than last year.
The Eagles are still in first place in the NFC East with the Dallas Cowboys in second place at 6-6-1. The Eagles will look to turn things around when they play the lowly Raiders (2-11) on Sunday at 1 pm ET.
