Patullo came to Miami after spending five seasons (2021-25) with Philadelphia, where he served as offensive coordinator (2025), passing game coordinator/associate head coach (2023-24) and passing game coordinator (2021-22).

He helped the Eagles reach the playoffs in each of his five seasons with the team, capturing three NFC East titles (2022, 2024 and 2025), two NFC titles (2022 and 2024) and winning Super Bowl LIX.
In 2025, quarterback Jalen Hurts was responsible for 33 offensive touchdowns, the sixth most in the league that season. He threw for a career-high 25 scores, which was the ninth most in the league that year, while rushing for eight, the sixth most among quarterbacks. Patullo helped Hurts become the second active player since 2000 with 30-plus touchdowns in four consecutive seasons, joining Buffalo's Josh Allen.

Philadelphia was one of only four teams in 2025 to have multiple 1,000-yard receivers with DeVonta Smith recording 1,008 and A.J. Brown logging 1,003. Tight end Dallas Goedert tied for the second-most receiving touchdowns in the NFL with 11, the most by a tight end in franchise history, while running back Saquon Barkley finished the year ranked 10th in the league with 1,140 rushing yards.

Brown earned second-team All-Pro honors after finishing fourth in the NFL with a 16.1 receiving average while totaling 1,079 receiving yards despite missing three games due to injury. The Eagles also ranked eighth in total offense (337.2 yards per game) that year.
In 2023, Patullo helped Philadelphia finish seventh in scoring offense (25.5 points per game) and eighth in total offense (354.4 yards per game).

Brown collected second-team All-Pro and Pro Bowl accolades for the second year in a row after recording 106 receptions for 1,456 yards. He tallied the fifth-most receiving yards in the NFL that season, while his 106 catches were the most by a wide receiver in Eagles history.
