The Eagles lead the Chiefs 20-17 late in the fourth quarter, but all fans, pundits, and experts have talked about the playcalling of first-year offensive coordinator Brian Johnson all night.
On a gloomy, rainy night in Kansas City, Philadelphia ran 46 offensive plays and had 231 total yards (5.0 Yards Per) and 15 first downs.
All-Pro wide receiver A.J. Brown has been held to 1 catch for 8 yards on the night, yet the Eagles have been able to shake off five sacks on quarterback Jalen Hurts and uneven play from one of the NFL’s top offensive lines.
With 4:34 left in the fourth quarter, here’s how the Philadelphia Eagles’ Twitter reacted to Johnson’s playcalling.

It’s amazing the Eagles are still in this game given how poorly the offense has looked.

Brian Johnson has run three bubble screens in his last four play calls.
1-for-3, 0 yards.

Hey Brian Johnson – NFL rules do actually allow you to throw the ball downfield.
