Jonathan Gannon’s defense started fast in the Super Bowl, then disappeared in the second half

Jonathan Gannon Eagles Nick Sirianni Patrick Mahomes Chiefs Howie Roseman Jalen Hurts Jeffrey Lurie Julian Kadarius Toney

GLENDALE, Ariz. – When the Eagles’ locker room finally opened to reporters, the cavernous space was half empty and coach Nick Sirianni was walking around to each stall hugging the remaining players. General manager Howie Roseman exited stage right, but owner Jeffrey Lurie and his heir, Julian, stood over the collective dejection of their team.

Offensive coordinator Shane Steichen made an appearance on his way, presumably, to the Colts. Quarterbacks coach Brian Johnson, his likely replacement, stood by quarterback Jalen Hurts’ locker and listened intently.

But Jonathan Gannon was nowhere to be seen – at least to this set of eyes – following Super Bowl LVII. The defensive coordinator was under no obligation to answer for his unit following the Eagles’ 38-35 nail-biting loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night in Super Bowl LVII at State Farm Stadium.
