Deception
(30%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it states that Kellen Moore will be the Eagles' third offensive coordinator in three years when he has only been an offensive coordinator for two teams and one team as a head coach. Secondly, it quotes McCarthy saying that he wants to run the ball so he can rest his defense but does not mention anything about running the ball or resting his defense being part of Moore's philosophy. Thirdly, it states that Moore led the NFL in yards gained twice and ranked in the top 10 in points gained three times in four years when this is only true for two teams and one team as a head coach.
Despite that success, Moore and the Cowboys opted to part ways after 2022.
Moore previously worked as the offensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Chargers, but will move on after the team's firing of Brandon Staley and hiring of Jim Harbaugh as head coach.

(70%)

Bias
(85%)
The article contains examples of religious bias and monetary bias. The author uses the phrase 'light up the scoreboard' to describe Kellen Moore's offense which implies that he is more interested in scoring points than running plays for his defense to rest. This could be seen as a negative portrayal of Moore, implying that he prioritizes short term gains over long term success. Additionally, the article mentions the Eagles dumping Brian Johnson after their elimination despite ranking seventh in the NFL in points scored which implies that money was being spent on offense rather than defense. This could be seen as an example of monetary bias.
Kellen Moore will be joining his third team in three years.

Quarterback Jalen Hurts regressed under Johnson after taking a step forward under former OC Shane Steichen in 2022.
ESPN’s Tim McManus reported earlier this month that Hurts had expressed disappointment because his ‘desired direction for the offense’ had ‘not materialized’ under Johnson.

Fangio served as a consultant for the Birds in 2022.
