Eagles Drop OC

Kevin Patullo has been dismissed as offensive coordinator by the Philadelphia Eagles, signifying a major shakeup for the team’s coaching staff.

 

This move comes after the Eagles’ disappointing 2025 campaign, which ended with a 23-19 wild-card round defeat to the San Francisco 49ers.

 

Head coach Nick Sirianni acknowledged Patullo’s efforts but stressed that changes are needed to help the Eagles reach their ambitions.

 

Under Patullo, the offense dropped to 19th in scoring and 24th in total yards, falling from previous top-ten marks.

 

Consistent injuries on the offensive line contributed, yet the team remained erratic and lacked effectiveness in key moments.

 

Jalen Hurts now faces his fifth offensive coordinator in as many seasons, reflecting continued instability on offense.

 

The Eagles' search for a new coordinator centers on restoring dynamic play and building lasting stability for fans and players alike.

Big Move in Biotech: Merck in Talks for Potential $32B Cancer Drug Deal

Merck & Co. is in advanced talks to acquire Revolution Medicines, valuing the potential deal between $28 billion and $32 billion.  Many Montgomery County families have ties to Merck’s workforce, making this potential acquisition especially relevant to our community’s economic and healthcare landscape.

 

The negotiations remain active, with several major pharmaceutical giants also eyeing Revolution Medicines, highlighting a fierce competition.

 

Revolution Medicines develops precision cancer therapies targeting RAS proteins, key drivers in many cancers.

 

Their leading drug candidate, daraxonrasib, is an oral inhibitor engineered to tackle diverse RAS mutations.

 

This move fits Merck’s strategy to broaden its cancer portfolio as its blockbuster treatment, Keytruda, nears loss of exclusivity.

 

Merck has ramped up acquisitions recently, notably absorbing Verona Pharma for $10 billion to add the COPD drug Ohtuvayre.

 

Amid these takeover talks, Merck’s shares held steady at $110.53, while Revolution Medicines’ stock soared over 10%, underscoring high investor anticipation and market excitement.
