Doug Pederson has hinted at giving Eagles passing game coordinator Press Taylor more play-calling responsibility and according to Mike Garafalo, the process started in Week 12.
Garafalo is reporting that Taylor was the offensive play-caller for the entire second half of the Eagles 23-17 loss to Seattle at home on Monday night.
A rising assistant and a fresh perspective. Makes sense. https://t.co/zKSuYPETdq

The Eagles scored 11 of their 17 points in the second half and Taylor was given the keys to the offense after Philadelphia had minus-4 yards in the first quarter, matching their worst first quarter in the past 30 seasons (also minus-4 vs Minnesota on Oct. 7, 2018).
With Taylor calling the plays in the second half, the Eagles had five drives, with two ending in scores, two ending in a turnover on downs, and one drive ended with an interception.
