Nick Sirianni addressed his decision to demote Sean Desai and name Matt Patricia his defensive coordinator after the Philadelphia Eagles' 20-17 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Monday night.

The loss extended the Eagles' losing streak to three games.

Players were notified of the change early last week and Patricia ran the defensive meetings during the lead-up to the Seattle game.

"I made the decision," Sirianni said. "I did what I thought I needed to do in the best interest of the football team. We made some adjustments there. Didn't feel like we were playing and coaching well enough on defense, so I made an adjustment."

The defense held Seattle to 90 yards and three points before intermission, allowing the Eagles to build a halftime lead for the first time in seven games.

The second half was a different story. The Seahawks outpaced Philadelphia 17-7 to close the game. They went ahead for good when Jaxon Smith-Njigba got behind James Bradberry and caught a 29-yard touchdown pass from Drew Lock with under 30 seconds remaining.
